CHELATING HEAVY METALS

[Rinse & rePeat]

“The bad news is that heavy metals do indeed enter plants from contaminated soils. The metals are picked up by the roots and distributed throughout the entire plant including the nectar and pollen. The amount of metal in the plant increases with the amount of metal in the soil. Also, in regions where there is a significant amount of lead in the air, it may land on the plant and adhere to the sticky surfaces of pollen.”

Heavy metal accumulation in honey

What is the danger of heavy metal accumulation in honey, especially from hives that are placed on remediated soil or on former toxic waste or dump sites?

“Scientists from Canada and the United States are using honey from neighborhood beekeepers to test for the presence of heavy metal pollution – a new application of a technique that uses isotope analysis to search for low levels of lead, zinc, copper and other elements.

The study is thought to be the first of its kind in North America using honey as a biomonitor. It was led by researchers at the University of British Columbia, including Kate Smith, who is the first author and a Ph.D. student, and Oregon State University.

Results of the research were published this week in Nature Sustainability.“

“The study focused on beehives in six neighborhoods in Vancouver, British Columbia. The researchers say honey collected from local hives provides a good indication of nearby conditions because honeybees typically utilize pollen and nectar within a range of 1-2 miles.”

“The researchers found traces of lead in the honey, but those isotopic fingerprints did not match any local, naturally occurring lead sources, suggesting a fairly clean local environment. However, some of the honey – as well as trees they tested in Vancouver’s Stanley Park – revealed isotopic fingerprints with some lead that was chemically similar to aerosols, ores and coal from large Asian cities.“

“Are Le Creuset baking sheets non toxic?
Le Creuset Bakeware

Their aesthetically pleasing collection is made of enameled cast iron. The coating is composed of “non-toxic metallic oxide particles suspended in a glass matrix,” so no harmful chemicals over here folks — only even heating, stain resistance, and a 5-year warranty to back up their quality.”



“Teflon laced with something called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), is one of the biggest offenders when it comes to toxic bakeware. This chemical, mostly found in cheaper nonstick options, breaks down into our food in just a few minutes when overheating. So much so that the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified PFOA as possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

“Many of us have old Teflon non-stick baking sheets lying around. But their safety is controversial, all thanks to this four-letter problem—

PFAS, which includes PFOA and GenX. They’re the slippery chemicals used to make Teflon baking sheets non-stick.

Now, researchers claim ingesting old, chipped-off Teflon is harmless.

Instead, it’s the fumes to worry about.

When a baking sheet reaches 464°F (240°C), the PFOA starts breaking down. Then, the coating off-gasses toxic fumes into the air.

And tests show you can reach this temperature in 60-90 seconds.

The EPA’s limited findings shows inhaled Teflon fumes link to:

Flu-like symptoms (Teflon Flu).
Immune system damage
Thyroid disruption
Certain cancers
Thousands of pet bird deaths
& effects on the liver & blood, to name a few.
Even worse, Teflon’s so-called safer replacements. That leads us to—

The “misleading” stuff:

After the risks of Teflon came to light, manufacturers replaced PFOA with GenX. That’s why today, you’ll read “PFOA-free” in the description of most non-stick cooking products.

But, “PFOA-free” does not mean Teflon-free.

It means the Teflon contains GenX instead of PFOA.

And EPA studies on GenX show adverse effects on the liver, blood, reproductive organs, kidneys, and more.

So, avoid all traditional non-stick cookie sheets. They’re not the safest bakeware to use, especially with high heat, as they can emit toxic fumes.“

• Earth’s Best Organic (Hain Celestial Group)

“Filtered coffee can remove from 78 to 90 percent of dissolved heavy metals such as lead and copper from tap water, providing coffee lovers with a healthier drink, an international scientific team in Sydney, Australia has found.

Toxic metals like copper and lead get into drinking water from storage tanks, copper pipes and solder, and from natural sources, says Dr. Mike McLaughlin who works with the Land and Water division of the Australian government research arm, Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO).

The softer the water, the higher the level of heavy metals in solution is likely to be. Both copper and lead have long-term effects on humans, and lead is strongly linked to intellectual impairment, especially in infants and young chldren.

But coffee grounds have a remarkable ability to mop up the heavy metal atoms, research by the Australian, Chilean and US scientists shows. Their findings could mean that daily human exposures to heavy metals in many cities around the world may have been greatly over-estimated. This could mean that current public health risk assessment models are inaccurate where coffee forms a large proportion of water consumption.“

When it comes to safely foraging wild foods, healthy soils equal healthy eating.”

Concern over microplastics has grown in recent years, with some known to include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals, named for their resistance to breakdown over time. PFAS are found in typical non-stick cookware and have been blamed for multiple health concerns. One Italian study even blamed the tiny terrors for a decrease in penis size.”
