I am slowly learning of the toxicity that is ever present in our foods, soaps, water, etc. Something I’ve discovered is the existence of heavy metals in most products and their harmful effects. My question is, why are they even there. I mean, just a few years ago it was discovered that most baby food contained toxic heavy metals….
In: Chemistry
Metals make up the majority of all elements, and are very present on earth as a result. And since a lot of metals are heavy metals, you get a lot of metals everywhere. Hell, even iron is technically a heavy metal, and we use it to build pretty much everything. And since most of the piping we build as well as most machines are made from metal, youre bound to get some contamination. That said, our bodies do have mechanisms to deal with heavy metals, because theyre everywhere. Low enough doses are survivable without any concern.
