Iron, Zinc, Calcium can be obtained from dirt, ONLY if present in the soil. Most cases, it would be in very minute quantities and would be pointless. Other soil types may inhibit digestion of nutrients you already have in you, so eating dirt varies by the dirt, and any benefits would be very small and most likely have negative effects. overall, dirt is not digested.I don't know! You tell me!?
