Boneblack and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Boneblack is a form of charcoal produced by burning animal bones in a controlled, low-oxygen environment. This process results in a material rich in carbon, calcium, and phosphates, which can be used for a variety of industrial applications. In the food industry, it is often employed as a decolorizing agent in the refining of cane sugar, helping to remove impurities and color from the raw product.
