Mercury pollution enters waterways from coal plants, volcanoes, gold mining, and other sources. In sediments, bacteria convert it to toxic methylmercury (MeHg), which builds up in fish through bioaccumulation and biomagnification—levels rise dramatically in larger predatory fish like swordfish, tuna, and shark as they eat smaller ones. This poses serious health risks, especially neurotoxicity from […]
Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury contaminate many protein powders, posing health risks with long-term use. These toxins enter through soil, industrial pollution, or manufacturing, especially in plant-based and organic products, which can have up to three times more lead than whey or animal-based options.
