All plants produce “phytochelatins” to bind up heavy metals to protect themselves from the harmful effects. So, what if we ate the plants? Subscribe to Dr. Greger’s free nutrition newsletter at www.nutritionfacts.org/subscribe and get a free recipe from his new HOW NOT TO DIE COOKBOOK. (All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from his books, DVDs, and speaking directly support NutritionFacts.org). Isn’t that frustrating? Why don’t they just try out foods on people? Wait until you see my next video! (Best Food for Lead Poisoning - Garlic (nutritionfacts.org/video/Best-Food-for-Lead-Poisoning-Garlic)). Then two more and then I put lead to rest: Can Vitamin C Help with Lead Poisoning? (nutritionfacts.org/video/Can-Vitamin-C-Help-with-Lead-Poisoning) and Yellow Bell Peppers for Male Infertility and Lead Poisoning? (nutritionfacts.org/video/Yellow-Bell-Peppers-for-Male-Infertility-and-Lead-Poisoning).
