Here’s a surprising fact:
Just by eating food from your local grocery store, you could be exposing yourself to heavy metals.
Why?
Well, a lot of our food, even the fresh stuff, comes from places where soil and water might be contaminated with metals like cadmium, lead, or arsenic.
This contamination could come from industrial runoff, pesticides, or even natural deposits. These metals get absorbed by plants, and then they end up in the fruits, veggies, and grains we eat.
Not to mention processed foods. They might contain additives or be processed in ways that introduce these metals. So every time you have a meal with these foods, you’re getting a tiny bit more of these metals into your system.
Over time, this can build up and start affecting your health, contributing to everything from digestive issues to more serious chronic conditions.
