Detox Your Body: Understanding Toxins and Genetics

And I think the biggest and most challenging thing is that those toxins, when they come in contact with our body have to go through the same processes that our own personal toxins go through, right? They have to get cleared out of the liver. And like you said, the genetics play a pretty significant role. And if your toxic burden is high, which everybody's is like, there's nobody free from this on the planet. I remember watching this documentary and these scientists went to Antarctica and they were literally like tackling those two giant emperor penguins and pulling feathers off of them. I didn't realize they're like three feet tall. But what they were trying to do is understand the toxicity level because of the way the ocean, there shouldn't be that much toxicity there. And when they analyzed these feathers, they found all kinds of mercury, all kinds. Everything that exists in the United States in a toxin exists all the way down there. So we have this toxic burden.
