Sources of Toxicity
20 of the most common sources of toxicity in humans that affect our metabolic health.
-
Air pollution: Contaminants in the air, such as particulate matter and toxins from industrial emissions, can negatively impact metabolic health.
-
Pesticides: Exposure to pesticides from contaminated food or environmental sources can disrupt metabolic processes.
-
Heavy metals: Toxic metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium, often found in contaminated water, food, or occupational settings, can impair metabolic function.
-
Processed foods: Highly processed foods containing artificial additives, preservatives, and unhealthy trans fats can contribute to metabolic dysfunction.
-
Sugar-sweetened beverages: Regular consumption of sugary drinks like soda and fruit juices can lead to metabolic disorders and weight gain.
-
Artificial sweeteners: Certain artificial sweeteners, despite being low in calories, may disrupt the gut microbiota and affect metabolic health.
-
Industrial chemicals: Chemicals used in industries, such as BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates found in plastics, can interfere with metabolic processes.
