What this means for you
The chemical-hazard rating is what drives the score down. The FDA has warned that some edible bentonite clay 'detox' products contain elevated lead, which the clay draws from its geological source. Ironically, a product sold to remove toxins can add one — and there is no evidence it detoxes anything.
