You are exposed to toxic metals every day through food, water and air. The most common toxic metal exposures we see in Vancouver are mercury, lead and arsenic. Your specific exposure to these metals depends on where you work because a factory or garage will have higher levels than an office. Also what you eat matters. Big migratory fish like tuna, swordfish and marlin have high levels of mercury and other toxins so are best to eat rarely, or not at all. Finally, Chelation or removing toxic metals from your body depends on your overall health and individual genetics.
