Tribes Ghana Africa supplement diet wiith eating clay?

Thanks for subscribing!

Some tribes in Ghana documented to harvest clay. The clay is smashed and molded into egg shapes. Then they eat the clay. It is presumed that the clay provides mineral supplements to thier diet. The clay is reported to contain calcium, magnesium, copper, potassium, and iron. Note the quality of their teeth. Is there a connection?

as speculated of the clay eating parrots, perhaps the ghana-ians are using the clay to counter (cleanse or neutralize?) some kind of toxic substance in their environment or diet and/or in addition to possibly being a mineral supplement to thier diet?

@lllll2006 Personally I eat clay I gather from my immediate vicinity. Lately I eat from a big hole I dug in my backyard (topsoil is very thin in this part of the continent, the clay layer is less than a foot underground) where I gather clay. Flavor wise its identical to all the clay in this region, but I trust mine more than other locations because I know it hasn't been chemically contaminated.

Yeah the African's had it right. Clay dirt has been known to cure various illness even during war. Just make sure the dirt comes from a clean cave and not one that's contaminated with waste.

what i noticed about many healthy tribal people around the world is that they dont drink liquids with their food. I also heard some bodybuilders dont drink liquids at least 30 mins after a meal to avoid bloating. I have done tons of research throughout many sources and found out that the "world health organization" is a big lie. Thats why modern civilization is overweight and unhealthy. The people teaching them about diet are the ones profiting from their diet and health problems. Wake up ppl!!

I am from Burkina Faso west is next to ghana, but when I was back home I have never I repeat never eating clay until I got pregnant and was craving soo badly for it.

I have seeing a lot of pregnant women eating it back home but never in the million years taught I would be craving for it. I eat with my first son, he was born healthy and beautiful and I am almost due with my second son and I just have do eat it every single day. but I must say this ,

I must say this. there are soo many different types of clay in the US that some of them did not taste good at all. I think the best one is the one from Africa because it taste natural and you can smell the earth. I used to talk badly to pregnant women in Africa that was eating clay while pregnant. I will call them ignorant and everything but now regret calling them these name because I am in the situation.

the good clay makes you feel good while pregnant. It has something good too.
