Why And When Heavy Metals Become Kryptonite!

At some point, your body is going to come into direct contact with a toxic heavy metal, no question about it. How well you handle that exposure depends on the following three things.

1. The substance.

2. The amount of time spent coming into contact with it.

3. Your ability to detoxify it.

Trace amounts of heavy metals routinely turn up in fruit juice, medications, health supplements, and even baby formula! And yet, when we look at the Earth’s crust as a whole, these heavy metals were once relatively scarce. Ever wonder how we got here?

The link between heavy metals and serious health problems has its roots in the industrial revolution. Back then, techniques used in the manufacturing allowed metals to seep into our waterways, our soil, and the air we breathe. It’s fair to assume that our ancestors might not have realized the long term implications of dumping heavy metals into the environment. Today, such ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse.

Yet corporations around the world continue to add toxic materials to our daily products. It’s now commonplace to find lead in lipstick, cadmium in car seat covers, aluminum in food products, and the list goes on and on and on.
