The 4 Heavy Metals That Can Contaminate Baby Food

November 3, 2022 by Annie

Many parents are bringing hazardous baby food lawsuits against the producers of these tainted infant meals to protect their children. These baby food lawsuits contend that the producers knew about heavy metals in their goods and that children who ate them acquired autism. Learn more about the toxic baby food autism lawsuit by visiting credible law websites. Following are some of the heavy metals that contaminate baby foods.

Arsenic

As a result of its long-standing usage as a pesticide and in addition to animal feed, arsenic commonly contaminates food and drinking water. In addition to harming the growing nervous system and brain, arsenic causes bladder, lung, and skin cancer. At least 13 studies in the peer-reviewed scientific literature link exposure to arsenic in utero or the first few years of life to IQ decrease in children.

Lead

Lead has been taken out of gasoline, pesticides, paints, children’s toys, and food in the past 40 years. But the issue of lead contamination in houses, soil, and water continues to be serious. Lead exposure is now less than it was in the past, yet it is estimated that children under five still lose 23 million IQ points due to brain damage caused by lead. Academic performance suffers, along with attention difficulties and behavioral issues, even at extremely low exposure levels. There is currently no known exposure limit. Even with extremely low blood lead levels, early-year exposure has been linked to worse achievement. Because of its long history of use as a pesticide, its presence in food processing equipment, and high levels in soil, lead is a common food contaminant.

Cadmium

Heavy metal cadmium has been related to cancer, renal, bone, and cardiac problems, as well as neurotoxicity. Metal is widely used in industries and is the most significant environmental and food pollutant. However, it doesn’t have the same effects and damages as arsenic and lead. Still, it may be just as harmful at low exposure levels, so parents, businesses, and regulators should pay the same attention. The neurotoxic effects of cadmium on children were the subject of 16 investigations, according to a 2015 survey of contemporary scientific literature. According to research by Harvard experts, the likelihood of learning problems among children with more significant cadmium exposures has tripled.

Mercury

Mercury is a worldwide contaminant emitted from mining activities, coal-fired power plants, and other sources. As a result, both the ecosystem and the food chain are contaminated. The primary source of mercury exposure for both adults and children is seafood. It includes methylmercury, a particularly harmful type of mercury that causes infants exposed in utero to have poor vision, IQ, and memory. It also raises the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults. Some of these elements are natural food requirements; however, you must check the dosage on the label before buying inorganic or packaged food. Remember, educating yourself about these harmful substances is the first step to living healthily.
