Why the confusion about heavy minerals and human health?
Because it’s not commonly known that the heavy metals we require have to be in a form our bodies can use. Plants pull metals from the soil and turn them into that usable form. That’s why we can assimilate the minerals in vegetables. (Did you know beans and celery are both an excellent source of the essential mineral aluminum?) But heavy metals also exist in forms we can’t use, and in forms that can be poisonous. When we don’t get enough minerals in a form we can use, our bodies are designed to try to make the unusable forms work. What poisons us are unusable heavy metals that find their way into our blood, tissue, bones, and organs via things like smog, soda cans, pesticides, and polluted water. Usable nutrient metals, like those contained in humic and fulvic minerals, bind with toxic metals and carry them away.
