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
Companies only care about profits. Testing products for random contamination is not required by law, and very difficult for the end consumer to do, so it doesn’t get done. Because of their nature heavy metals never go away. The more humans dig them out of the earth and spread them all over the planet, by not properly disposing of them, the more they start to build up. Once a heavy metal enters the Eco system then tend to build up in apex predators (like us).
