Make super sure it's food grade!

There is no such thing as 100% purity. When stuff is sold in bulk for other purposes - there are contaminants that are irrelevant to the use. Calcium carbonate is used in agriculture, construction, sanitation... Etc.

Bulk chems can sometimes be contaminated with heavy metals or other toxins. Eating that daily could be very bad for your health. If you're going to consume it, make sure you get food grade!
