Low Toxin Diet Heavy metals in certain foods

Arsenic can be reduced in rice by either soaking it in charcoal water for ~8 hours prior to cooking or by boiling it in excess water with charcoal added for several minutes, then draining the water and rinsing out the charcoal and then cooking again. I can feel a subtle difference from eating rice prepared this way pretty quickly after eating it compared to regular cooking.

Would you use a stick of charcoal?

Well, for one, cocoa is not really a food, it's more like a drug, it contains the insecticide caffeine (Cocoa butter is free of toxins btw).

The question is not how to avoid literally all toxins in tiniest amounts, that's impossible. The question is how to avoid most of it while getting a large amount of essential minerals, especially magnesium, potassium, zinc, selenium, to give the body the ability to deal with the heavy metals and other stuff.

some use carob as a substitute for C. Any problems with that?

I'm using food grade activated charcoal powder, I can't say I know anything about the "stick" form of charcoal.

Have heard some claims of cadmium from high cannabis users.

Possibly if your mineral balance is optimal, your less likely to hold onto the less desirable metals you injest.
