Yes. And "earth biscuit" loved kale is a #1 concentrator of cadmium as well - it's part of it's genome as a plant. You can't completely avoid these things.
Similarly radiation is unavoidable even if we never had discovered the bomb. And with the threat a magnet pole reversal, that could become a major thing for a few 100-1000 years.
What doesn't kill you makes you and yours stronger.
Also the first part of the article about "reducing salt" - it turns out the 1950s papers on the connection between salt and cardiovascular disease is so flawed as Design of Experiment and execution that it borders on fraud.
The origin cholesterol and cardio paper has the same flaws and probably should not be taken seriously. Correlation is not causation but BAD correlation due to fundamental study flaws certainly isn't.
Add to this the "linear thinking" usually used to justify treatments and habits to change, when metabolic systems are HIGHLY nonlinear and pretty much the entire medical profession deserves a FAIL.
- mark-r 5y agoDo you know why they add iodine to (iodized) salt? The nuclear testing we did way back when put so much radioactive iodine into the atmosphere, it was getting into the soil and taken up by the plants we were eating. The body excretes excess iodine, so putting non-radioactive iodine in the salt allowed our bodies to eliminate some of the radioactive stuff.
- momdad420 5y agoIdk about the nuclear testing putting "radioactive iodine" in the atmosphere, but as for the addition of iodine to salt, that's not the origin. It was added to prevent health issues from iodine deficiency, such as goiters. In fact the invention of iodized salt predates the invention of the atomic bomb by several decades. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3509517/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3509517/
