There had been a question about aluminum in bentonite. There is plenty.
Bentonite is a mixture of clay minerals, principally montmorillonite (a
hydrated aluminum-magnesium silicate), which can contain up to about 13%
aluminum by mass. But the real question is whether this Al is bioavailable
or not -- it might just pass right on through.
