So what are people's thoughts on eating clay?!

This was posted by a vegan friend of mine so I'm inclined to completely disregard it, but maybe I'm being too cynical.

Eating clay is a sign of an iron deficiency. Do you think vegans might have an iron deficiency? I think they might.

Yep, I think some liver pate' sounds tastier than clay.

For lunch today I had chicken livers and green beans sauteed in chicken fat with some sliced almonds on top. Yum.

This is nothing new to me. My mom is a German, and I have spent long years living there. The health food stores there all carry a product called "heilerde", which means nothing more than "healing earth", from a company named "Luvos". They make two kinds - external use and internal use. I have done both, and nothing was tough about taking it. The heilerde (actually a kind of clay) is a dirt color, as you would expect, but is sterilized, highly purified and very finely ground.

Nobody makes anything of anybody using it and almost everybody knows of it. I haven't heard claims of it absorbing radiation like the article states, just in cases of heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea and the like. It is not crazy at all - just unknown generally here, and some claims as to what it can potentially do might be far-fetched.

Breakfast was Mackerel, Mushrooms, chicken liver and eggs.

From a co-worker (who wants me to do something for her on her computer but didn't want to start it at five to ten): "Oh that's right. You don't have morning tea. or lunch."

Fast forward to the present. A study from Arizona State University found bentonite clay extremely effective in destroying MRSA, salmonella and E. coli, among other potentially deadly bacteria.

I'd be interested to read that.

What I have heard about bentonite clay is that it is generally used in detox diet and absorbs toxins out of the body. I bought some and tried it... Yeh, I'm going to stick with my bacon.

Interesting, I've never heard of this before.

I'm not going to make any assumptions without having any kind of knowledge about it, but for now, I'm happy with my clay-free diet

Interesting... Does it work?

Similarly, in India they take charcoal tablets for stomach upsets.
