I don’t mean this type of clay.
I’m talking about the edible clay or “healing clay” that’s suddenly become the next big thing.
I’ve done two recent interviews on the clay-eating craze: Is Clay Eating the Next Oil Pulling? for You Beauty and a radio interview for WTOP. I certainly didn’t intend to be an expert on clay eating, and I don’t mean to pick on actress Shailene Woodley who seemed to get the (clay) ball rolling, so to speak. She was interviewed on this beauty blog, describing clay as “one of the best things you can put into your body” and then clay-eating became the talk of the town. Here’s Shailene describing why she eats clay to David Letterman.
So what’s this clay thing all about?
Like many home…
