Pure gold leaf is 24 karat. In its pure state, it is very soft and delicate. Therefore, it is typically mixed with other metals to create different levels of hardness and to adjust the color of the leaf. 24kt gold is too soft for daily wear and tear. Edible gold is almost pure gold, but is usually mixed with silver, which is also edible. Generally speaking, there is no danger in ingesting edible gold or silver. They are inert metals that simply pass through the intestinal system, after about 24 hours, unchanged without causing any harm or reaction on the body.
