Fruit "Wine" Maker
In looking to purchase more Bentonite I ran across a seller on Amazon that listed Bentonite Powder.
I didn't purchase for two reasons:
1) It wasn't identified as for use with wine making but as for facial scrub/facial Masks
2) The container picture identified it as "Sodium Bentonite" which was interesting because most sites don't list it as anything but "Bentonite" or Calcium Bentonite. Knowing the addition of sodium to wine as something to be avoided, I purchased my bentonite from a Home Brew site.
Pricing on the sellers offer was reasonable $18.88 / 5 lbs (Way more than I need of course)
Several people asked if it is "Food Grade" and the seller and other stated that nobody lists Bentionite as "food grade" because the FDA does not do that sort of testing/accrediting. True or False I don't know but for now... I steered clear.
So this is sort of a question and warning (?) A lot of offers out there listing bentonite including some interesting ones like a Diaper Cream that contains Bentionite. OR For internal use as a detoxing product. (Cannot imagine swallowing the stuff)
