The hot new health trend Is eating dirt! No seriously! They call themselves “crunchers”.
Before you grab a shovel you should know it is not the dirt you have in your yard. This is special dirt called “biodynamic soil.” The claims say it can help with SO many things including wrinkles, tummy issues, acne and beyond.
Most crunchers prefer it in the form of edible chunks of clay though. (Here’s a video.) You choose your own variety … like “medium hard crunch” or ones with a “pleasant earthy taste.”
There’s not much scientific evidence to back up the health claims. And those clays aren’t regulated, so there’s no telling what’s in there. The biggest concern would be heavy metals like mercury and lead.
I am pretty sure people will buy anything and TikTok is just messing with us now.
