    It is not reliable to clean the intestines by eating bamboo charcoal food. In theory, if bamboo charcoal can play a role in the body, it is also limited to the stomach. Through contact with food, bamboo charcoal can indiscriminately adsorb various elements in the ionic state in food, that is, the adsorbed substances include harmful heavy metal elements, as well as beneficial trace elements such as calcium and zinc contained in food. Therefore, by eating bamboo charcoal to clean the intestine, it may affect normal nutrient absorption and even cause malnutrition.
