-(Natural News) Scientists warn that cadmium poisoning is an underreported and little-known global health problem, causing a massive number of deaths annually and contributing to a lot of illnesses, not the least of which is cancer. The long-term exposure to the heavy metal has been documented to dramatically increase one’s risk of various skeletal, reproductive, […]

-(Natural News) A study published in the European Journal of Medicinal Plants recently concluded that papayas may be a delicious and natural way to prevent brain damage caused by cadmium toxicity. Cadmium is a known carcinogen and neurotoxin. In point of fact, this specific heavy metal is notorious for intensifying oxidative damage in the nervous […]

-(Natural News) A study published in the IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology has revealed that the current progress of scientific literature regarding the effects of cadmium accumulation in soil, coupled with the development of various procedures to treat it, significantly aids toxin-free rice production. Led by researchers from the South China Agricultural University and Sierra Leone Agricultural Research […]

-(Natural News) Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal associated with a host of adverse health conditions. The heavy metal is a naturally-occurring compound that is currently used in the production of batteries, electroplate steel and cathode ray tubes, and colored pigments. Cadmium is also added in rods used in nuclear reactors to control atomic fission. Being a […]

-(Natural News) The beneficial effects of probiotic bacteria are boosted by the addition of prebiotics that promotes their growth. This synbiotic combination was investigated by Iranian scientists for potential protective properties against acute cadmium poisoning. Cadmium is a heavy metal that naturally occurs in low amounts in soil and drinking water. It is also produced […]

-(Natural News) Iranian scientists constructed a rat model to study the effect of two probiotics plus a prebiotic on cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal that is harmful to humans. They reported that the synbiotic – a synergistic combination of probiotics and prebiotics – protected rats against the toxic effects of cadmium, which includes oxidative stress on […]

-(Natural News) The spread of plastic pollution and hazardous chemicals into the oceans is a well-known phenomenon that has been extensively studied. However, little is yet known about the impact these toxic chemicals have on bodies of freshwater. Now, the first-ever chemical analysis of one of western Europe’s largest bodies of freshwater revealed the presence of toxic […]

-(Natural News) The presence of cadmium (Cd) in the fertile soil of California is bad news for growers and consumers alike. When large amounts of the heavy metal are absorbed by leafy vegetables, the crop becomes dangerous to humans. Researchers therefore came up with an organic fertilizer that can reduce Cd levels in soils and vegetables, according […]

-(Natural News) If you’ve purchased a heavy metals lab test kit from the Health Ranger Store, you’ll receive a report listing the ppb (parts per billion) concentrations for over 20 elements, including lead, zinc, magnesium, cadmium and more. We use ICP-MS instrumentation (“mass spec”) to test heavy metals down to single-digit ppb concentrations. See the […]

-(Natural News) You’re probably already aware just how bad environmental toxins can be for your health, but did you know that they can also alter personalities? Heavy metals occur naturally in the environment in small amounts, but human activity can cause these numbers to rise dramatically in some places, and many species are paying the […]
