The food industry plays a significant role in exposing people to environmental toxins, pollutants, and heavy metals. From growing raw materials to processing and packaging, various steps in food production can result in the release of harmful substances that ultimately enter the human body.
We are all aware of many effects!
For example, a number of studies show us that numerous ready meals are proven to be carcinogenic or that aluminum salts in deodorants can cause toxic skin irritation.
But did you know that even pretzel cookies contain 50 mg of aluminum?
It's shocking, isn't it? In this article, we dive deeper into the topic of exposure to environmental toxins, pollutants and heavy metals and give practical examples from industry. The truth behind the food industry is shocking — stay tuned and find out more!
Basically — anytime. But in some cases, pollutants are not obvious and we are often not aware of the hidden pollutants we are polluting ourselves and our bodies with.
Pesticides and herbicides, which are widely used in conventional agriculture, can leave residues on fruits, vegetables, and grains. If there is insufficient cleaning or pollution control, these residues can remain in the food and be absorbed by consumers. Studies have shown that long-term exposure to pesticides may be linked to a wide range of health problems, including cancer, neurological disorders and problems of endocrine system.
Pollutants can also be produced during the processing of food. For example, certain cooking or preservation methods can lead to the formation of carcinogenic substances such as acrylamide, particularly when preparing starchy foods such as French fries or potato chips.
In addition, the use of packaging materials may contain pollutants such as bisphenol A (BPA), which lead to contamination of food. BPA can pass from packaging into food and be absorbed by the human body when consumed. BPA is thought to be linked to a range of health problems, including hormonal disorders, reproductive problems, and developmental disorders in children.
The increasing exposure to heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium in certain foods is also of concern. These heavy metals can enter the food chain as a result of environmental pollution or from the natural content of the soil. Fish and seafood in particular are often contaminated with mercury, which, if consumed in excess, can cause serious health problems, particularly for pregnant women and children.
Environmental toxins can take a variety of forms, including pesticides, industrial chemicals, organic pollutants, and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium. They enter the environment in a variety of ways, including air and water pollution, improper disposal of waste, and agricultural and industrial activities.
But it is not only adults who are affected by severe levels of pollutants. A study by Aolin Wang published in 2021 shows the shocking effects of environmental toxins and pesticides [SU3] from the University of California at San Francisco. Blood was taken from 30 mother-child pairs and then analyzed.
The result: 109 industrial chemicals were found in the blood of newborns!
Of these chemicals, 40 come from emollients, 28 from cosmetics, 29 are drugs, and 25 are typically found in household products. There were also 23 different pesticides, three flame retardants and seven polyfluoroalkyl compounds, which were contained in the blood of the newborns.
Another worrying result of this study: 42 of the 109 chemicals come from unknown sources. The data available does not allow conclusions to be drawn about their medical and biological origin. Woodruff describes it as “worrying that we are unable to identify the sources and applications of so many of these chemicals” and calls for stricter guidelines for documenting chemical products.
Unfortunately, we can't 100% prevent exposure to pollutants — but we can ensure that our body is cleansed of them regularly!
That's right because the level of pollutants varies from organism to organism. That's because not every body has the same detoxification capacity.
Detoxification capacity is the body's ability to recognize, neutralize, and eliminate harmful substances or toxins. These processes occur in various organs and tissues, particularly in the liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, and intestines. Detoxification capacity may vary depending on individual genetic factors, environmental pressures, lifestyle, and diet.
It is therefore important to measure the intensity of the pollutant load in the body before treatment in order to suggest an appropriate therapy. For this reason, we at Biocannovea work in our immunoanalysis center according to the principle “Measure — Do — Measure”. This means that, as a first step, we take a close look at which pollutants and heavy metals your body is polluted by and create an individual therapy concept based on this.
There are many methods of analysis to determine the level of harmful substances in the body. A blood sample or urine sample is often used to test this load. But the most effective and informative method is hair analysis[SU4] because 99% of the pollutants are in our cells. A comprehensive analysis records the extent of the pollutant load and defines exactly which of these substances are too many in your body and must be filtered out.
A new and innovative process that we offer at our center starts right there and ensures that these pollutants are filtered out of the blood.
“Blood washing” is the umbrella term for numerous processes which attempt to free the body from pollutants through various processes. At Biocannovea, we've tested many of these processes, but found that none is as effective as hemo-hyper-oxygenation perfusion (HHO for short).
In short, during HHO, inflammatory and other harmful molecules are filtered out of your body. Your blood is passed through a filter consisting of bio-compliant polymer resin balls, which ensures that (harmful) substances that you have too much in your body are filtered out.
As mentioned above, most sheep matter is in our cells. In order to filter them out there, your blood is heated during HHO, which ensures that the cell membranes become permeable and the intracellular pathogens can be reached. So that toxins can be effectively removed from the body, the filtered blood is enriched with oxygen, which in turn stimulates the body to form new blood vessels.
This process is repeated several times during a session, so that particularly effective cleaning can be guaranteed.
In our immunoanalysis center, we have already performed hemo-hyper-oxygenation perfusion (HHO) on numerous patients. The feedback was consistently positive, and many of our patients reported noticeable improvements in their wellbeing and health after using HHO. Some noticed a increased vitality, one improved immune function And a increased energy, while others from a Reducing their symptoms, such as weariness, headaches or Digestive problems, reported.
See for yourself and see what experiences[SU5] others were allowed to do it with HHO.
Given the complex threat posed by environmental toxins and pollutants, it is crucial that we are aware of potential risks and take appropriate action to protect our health. You can't prevent your body from being polluted by pollutants, but you can make sure that your body is cleansed of them. Benefit from holistic and efficient cleansing of your body through HHO and find your way back to a new quality of life!
