"Heavy metal contamination doesn't work like food poisoning - there's no quick stomach upset to warn you. Instead, these toxins can build up in the body for years, slowly harming the brain, heart and kidneys, especially in children. And here's the bigger problem: This isn't an isolated slip-up. From infant formula to baby cereals to pantry staples, heavy metals are turning up in everyday foods far more often than most people realize."
"Some metals are essential in tiny amounts: copper keeps your skin and connective tissues strong, iron carries oxygen in your blood and zinc helps heal wounds. But toxic heavy metals are another story: These metals "stick" in the body, binding to bones, brain tissue and organs for years, quietly undermining health. Metals like cadmium and lead don't just "pass through." In children, even low, symptom-free exposure can lower IQ, slow speech development and affect behavior."
Tests found elevated cadmium and lead in canned Parashore Pear Slices in juice, prompting a recall. No illnesses have been reported, but heavy metals accumulate silently over years and can damage brain, heart and kidneys. Children face greater risk because of their small size, developing brains and higher intake per pound. Toxic metals bind to bones, brain tissue and organs and can lower IQ, slow speech development and affect behavior. Adults face long-term risks including hypertension, kidney damage, weakened bones, fertility effects and cancer. Contamination often originates from routine farming and processing and appears across infant formulas, cereals and pantry staples.
