Differences and Commonalities in Physical, Chemical and Mineralogical Properties of Zanzibari Geophagic Soils
The function of human geophagy has long been questioned. We sought to test hypotheses concerning its potential physiological effects through analysis of soils and patterns in geophagy behavior. Eleven samples of geophagic soils consumed by pregnant women on Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania, were cha...
