Stop the use of all your spices like cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano until you hear what just happened so you know which ones are safe. A test was done on over 126 different spices and it was found that more than one-third of them contain extremely high amounts of arsenic, cadmium, and lead. And I'm going to tell you which ones are safe and which ones aren't. This is important that we're focused here because heavy metals are being found everywhere, like our water, even our breakfast cereals, and the total accumulative load is too much. People will regularly put up to a teaspoon of spices on every single meal and over time expose themselves to these heavy metals that can lead to central nervous issues, reproductive problems, kidney damage, and immune dysfunction. It can also affect the brain's development, increase the risk for behavioral problems and lower IQ in your children. What's fascinating is that there was no single predictor of which products contain these high levels of heavy metals. For example, a brand name didn't matter. Neither did the word organic, and neither did the word packed in the United States. It was completely random and arbitrary. Because of that, I've made a list of which spices and which brands were found to have the most amount of heavy metals. Just comment the word spices below and I'll send you the list for free.
