Episode 4: Spoiled Rotten
Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy: The mercury is from the environmental
production whether they’re mining in South Africa or they are burning
coal in China. There is mercury, and like I had mentioned before, there’s
50 professions that deal with mercury. In some kind of process of their
job they’re dealing with mercury. So mercury is everywhere. Arsenic, I
mean Discover Magazine had the front cover, the metals in your food. I
mean there is no—the EPA says there’s no safe level of any heavy
metal in—toxic heavy metal in your body. Okay. So when they put
norms there, okay, first of all, how do I know what’s normal for you.
Okay. what may be normal for you maybe be terribly destructive to me.
Ty: Because we’re individuals.
Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy: We’re individuals and so I might not be able
to handle one little anything of mercury and you might be able to—oh, I
can handle this. I can manage it. But the EPA says, the Environmental
Protection Agency says there’s no safe level of these metals—arsenic,
mercury, aluminum, in your body. And so we have to eat foods that help
us detoxify.
Ty: What do we do [Mike], what are you doing now to prevent
cancer from a dietary perspective
Mike Adams: You’re the first person to have asked me this on camera
and a lot of the research I’m going to cite here has just been completed.
I’ve done extensive research on what’s called a metals capturing
capacity of different types of foods. I call it the MCC where I test using a
synthetic gastric acid digestion simulator that I built in the lab, I test
foods versus contaminants. And I find out how much of the contaminant
gets bound to the food. And thereby carried out of your digestive tract as
insoluble fiber rather than being absorbed through your intestinal walls
and going into your blood. This is a key concept to understand to
answer your question. Processed foods have very low capturing
capacity because the fibers are typically processed out of them. They’re
also structurally compromised through processing. They’re de-natured
in other words.
Ty: Which makes them “un-food.”
Mike Adams: Un-food—so if you eat, let’s say, processed, a process
food meal or a beverage that is contaminated with, let’s say, 10 ppm of
mercury you’re likely to absorb the vast majority of that mercury through
your intestinal walls that goes in your blood or it could be radioactive
cesium-137, mercury, cesium, lead, cadmium, you name it.
