From the article linked below:
“Many have shared how bentonite clay has helped their digestion or skin symptoms. The reasons why it may have helped seemed plausible to me, and I don’t doubt that many have had positive experiences. Since I’ve never seen much research either way, I never thought too much about it.
Recently, I heard a story about Megan Curran de Nieto, a fellow Minnesotan who was struggling to lower the blood lead levels of a local family. The levels did not come down despite avoiding typical lead sources.
Ms. Curran de Nieto was shopping in a nearby Target store when she noticed a product, called “Bentonite Me Baby”. She remembered that the family she was working with had been taking bentonite clay in hopes of detoxifying from lead. Ms. Curran de Nieto became suspicious, bought the clay and sent it to a lab for analysis.”

Do you happen to know if the same holds true for ALL clays? Like white clay, grey, pink, etc?
This article mentions that hydroxyapatite may also contain lead because it is an animal bone product. Have you ever tested a hydroxyapatite toothpaste? After reading about earth paste I don’t know what’s still safe…
I have not tested that.
