yes, fully, although some people get their pants twisted because of 'bleached' papers. What isn't commonly realized though is that good papers are bleached not with chlorine but with oxygen.
natural papers impart a taste that isn't good even if you rinse them.
as for the original question, I think both metal and paper are good to have so you can taste the difference between them (which is considerable).
