Unfortunately, a monster absorbing a human SOUL is unprecedented before Asriel, which leaves the nature of the fusion unknown. My take would be, that it is possible for monster bodies to take DT as part of an absorbed SOUL. What I guess Alphys did, is to inject it directly into the body. That would explain why being physical enough was an important factor.

So, I would say taking DT "pills" probably isn't that bad for your body. Taking DT "injections" is.

I don't think contradictions are something you notice on your first look. It would require you to actually wait a second and think about what the character just said, and I can speak for myself when I say that I'm not always a critical thinker.
