Does anyone know if french green clay is safe to eat. I mean to use as a cleansing clay, like bentonite? Not like a clay snack or anything like that. Thanks

I THINK I have read, realize I'm not certain of this, that all clays are safe to ingest. There are lots of sites on the internet and I think that's where I read this. Of course, there are lots of people writing lots of things on the internet and can't be certain of much of it.

I saw this video of a clay eater online and she looked crazy to me.

It's called pica and it is a medical disorder!

I don't think it's a good idea. Clay contains phosphates that inhibit uptake of zinc. It's difficult enough to get adequate zinc in a raw vegan diet, and clay-eating would make it even more so.

pica, yes..I heard of that, eating dirt, my mother did that when she was pregnant with me..

if people want dirt so bad do not wash organic veggies, there is bound to be some dirt on them. Right?

Clay eating, I know if I were to eat it, Ii would maybe die, I eat only fruit so I am hyper sensitive..I can tell so much by taste, even in my stomach.
