Historic alley in Kaolin, Jiangxi province, China . Do you know Kaolin clay? That ingredient, necessary to make porcelain, was discovered here. Therefore porcelain "China" originates from here.

#Kaolin is also used in human food and medicines... basically "food-grade clay".

The diarrhea medicine "Kaopectate" used to be Kaolin and #Pectin. No longer.

We used to make fun of #McDonalds "clay-shakes" because they allegedly had Kaolin in them.
