Sara, Juel and Lisa Ayres dive right into metal in baby food after multiple listeners brought this topic to our attention. Commercial baby foods are tainted with significant levels of toxic heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury. We discuss the findings and focus on limiting exposure to metal absorption. The safest bet is simply to minimize your exposure. As the director of food safety research at Consumer Reports notes, "no amount of heavy metals such as lead can be considered safe." We recommend healthy ways to bring some nutrition into your life and what to cut out. -- Source Baby Foods Are Tainted with Dangerous Levels of Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury The FDA currently has multiple ongoing import alerts for toxic elements in food, including for arsenic in fruit juice, bottled water and dietary supplement products and for lead in candy, dried fruits, spices, dietary supplements, and other foods. FDA Response We will provide a document with our notes. Thank you Lisa!!! We love you Lisa and so does the listeners. -- Produced by us - Sound Engineer: Brenden Ginn - Theme Song by Comeback Karma!
