Heavy metals and pesticides are extremely toxic to the human body when ingested consistently on a regular basis. The toxicities of pesticides to a varying degree are toxic towards there targets but also humans. Due to there chemical properties, pesticides can easily penetrate biological barriers and accumulate in lipid compartments of cells. They can interfere with the metabolism of various compounds within the body and cause harmful effects within organ systems, particularly the nervous system. Unfortunately in modern society, contamination of these harmful toxics find there way into food products. Eliminating heavy metals from the food supply is difficult because these metals are found in air, water and soil, they are then taken up by plants as they grow. Rice protein is associated with high levels of arsenic. We made a decision to never use this source of protein in any of our protein blends.
