Iron Man Cereal!
Ok, that's not an actual cereal but there sure are METAL cereals on the market. I was replying to 
Now I'm sure a lot of you have already seen the videos from a few years ago where people were able to pick up Iron shavings with a magnet from their cereals. Fortified foods were created supposedly to reduce the amount of people with iron deficiency and anaemia. Well now the tests are showing that these fortified foods and Iron supplements are doing the opposite. They could be causing people to ingest more Iron then they actually need.
We personally don't buy cereal mostly because of GMO reasons so I'm glad about that. If you look at different forms and research this topic you'll notice that there is a lot of support for adding Iron shavings into the cereals. Let's take a look at a few comments on the forums.
Now these comments in the forum are 5 years old which is right around the time when the videos were going around with the magnet in the cereal. I decided to dig deeper and find some information beyond the main stream mumble jumble where they like to defend their actions. They like to produce stories on how the metals in the cereals would be good for us and how it will save pregnant women who's bodies are low in iron.
Why are toxic metals harmful to the body
- Lead - Lead can lower your IQ levels
- Cadmium - Cadmium can cause Kidney damage
- Arsenic - Arsenic is a cancer-increasing substance
So it seems that heavy metal exposure to our bodies can be extremely harmful. We need to try our best to stay away from products that contain GMO's and heavy metals. Some people are saying that Iron is ok for the body and we need it. Let's take a look at what some researchers are saying on Iron.
Are Heavy Metals Useful For Us?
Some people tend to validate the presence of heavy metals in cereals by arguing that children need more nutrition than grown-ups and more nutrition couldn’t do any harm to the adults too. But this is not true as the intoxicated foods are supplemented with an excess amount of metals. Some researchers even claim that the excessive amount of iron added in cereals lead to lymphatic tissue cancer and leukemia. While they are growing fast, children couldn’t store too much iron in their body. They have a large amount of iron at birth, but that amount decreases gradually as they grow up.
While we generally tend to know about the existence of arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, there are lots of other heavy metal substances too. Though they are easily found in our natural environment and some are actually needed for our body, high dose of these metals could be detrimental for our body. They can have a negative impact on our mental function, disrupting the regular thinking process. They can have serious impact on our decision making process too. As a result of high intake of these heavy metals, we can experience a reduced capacity or completely damaged central nervous system. They will lead to a state of low energy. An excess amount of heavy metals could make us feel tired and less capable of performing our usual actions. While long-term exposure to these toxic metals could lead to cancer, they can also pave the way for Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
We all must realize by now that the government is not here to help us in any way. It's going to be up to us to help ourselves. We can look into things like detoxification and Oral Chelation to rid our bodies from the heavy metal exposure.
I seem to also be finding articles showing heavy metals in baby food and baby formula. Now before I go I wanted to show you the 10 worst children's cereals for sugar content.
