Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Someone had a question about bentonite clay and aluminum because there is aluminum in

bentonite clay and bentonite clay has been promoted as a great thing to take if you want to detoxify

your body.

So I want to talk about exactly what bentonite clay is and if it can create aluminum toxicity.

Bentonite clay is dissolved minerals from volcanic ash combined with marine environments.

It sees layers of very thin sheets of minerals and there are many minerals in clay but the

main two minerals are a combination between silica and aluminum.

So there is aluminum in bentonite clay as well as silica but you have to realize that those

two minerals are tightly bound and they're not going to leach out in your body.

So you do not have to worry about getting aluminum poisoning when you take bentonite clay.

The unique thing about bentonite clay that's different from other clays is that it has

eight times the pole factor or magnetic force to absorb and attract heavy metals, toxins

and other things.

So it has a very, very strong negative charge that acts like a magnet for certain things.

So it can actually attach to arsenic, lead, mercury and toxins from fungus like aflotoxins.

And it can even decrease bacterial loads, which is actually quite fascinating if someone

has an infection.

It's really good for people with IBS that get a lot of bloating that have inflammation

or guts.

So that's really the simplicity of bentonite clay.
