You would think that avoiding heavy metals would be a simple process, but a study by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York in collaboration with the Environmental Work Group found that it’s not that easy. In a study involving nine participants who lead healthy lives and did not work with heavy metals on the job, lead was found in all nine participants, and mercury was found in eight. This makes it very clear that avoiding heavy metals is not a simple process, and that we need to seriously consider our heavy metals toxicity and how to remove them from our body.
