Beauty products containing gold are not the revelation of the modern society. They have been used for a very long time by women in search of youth and beauty. The mistress of Henry II, the 16th century French king, is said to have been drinking gold in order to preserve her youth.
What is a shame is that the treatment managed to kill her in the end. Experts believe that the reason of her death was gold poisoning. The remains of Diane de Poitiers were found last year by French experts. After a serious analysis they found high traces of gold in her hair. Researchers believe that the precious metal found could not come from jewelry as she was not a queen and thus she didn't wear a crown.
Experts believe that the most plausible explanation is that she consumed the yellow metal in order to preserve her youth. There was a belief in the French court that said that gold harnesses the power of the Sun and it will be transferred to the drinker. It is highly possible that the Diane de Poitiers, who was 20 years older than her lover, was obsessed with remaining young.
Some reports made in those days mention that she was incredibly beautiful even without any make-up. She looked 30 when she was actually about 60 years old. She died at Chateau de Anet, a present from the King, when she was 66. Her body was buried in the specially built funeral chapel. During the French Revolution her remains were carried into a common grave outside the Chateau.
If you have the curiosity to drink this yellow metal make sure that the metal in the beverage is edible gold. On the other hand, it would be a shame if you only decided to drink it and not invest in this precious metal. The market today is very favorable for this metal so, think about it.
