Where Metals Come From
Metals can come from many different sources. Some of the most common are medicines, amalgam fillings in your teeth, and seafood (all bottom feeders like shrimp, crabs, lobster, clams and oysters). Also farm-raised fish can contain heavy metals because they are raised in shallow water. Wild caught deep water fish are the best seafood to eat. Metals can also come from pesticides and herbicides on foods, water supplies like well water ( which should be tested for heavy metals) or you may have lead pipes in your house. They could also be from fumes in your environment or from your workplace.
It is important to be aware of these things so you can make the best choices for your health.
