Lu Jinxing, deputy director of the Institute of Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control of China CDC, told reporters that land environment and water pollution are the problems facing the world today, so there is a possibility that heavy metals in seafood will exceed the standard. Experts point out that heavy metals mainly gather in the viscera and head of fish, and these parts can be thrown away when eating. Soak in water for a while before eating, and dip in vinegar when eating, which can promote the decomposition of harmful metals.

2, preserved eggs

In the traditional preserved egg making process, heavy metals such as lead or copper are often added to the dipping solution to solidify protein. Now, due to the improvement of technology, this risk has been reduced, but it is still recommended to eat occasionally and add some vinegar to help reduce the absorption of heavy metals.

3. Animal viscera

Although animal internal organs have unique nutritional components, there are many heavy metal deposits. Poultry is fed with industrial feed, which is uncertain. Once unsafe food is eaten by animals, such as animal feed, and the water that animals drink is polluted by heavy metals such as cadmium, it will be metabolized by internal organs, and some harmful substances such as heavy metals will be deposited in internal organs, such as cadmium and lead, and those heavy metals remaining in internal organs will be transferred to you, endangering your health.

4. canned drinks

The researchers investigated 22 kinds of drinks and found that the aluminum content in canned drinks was the highest, which was 3-6 times that of bottled drinks. The best way to avoid this harm is to drink less cans.

6. Chinese medicine

The common realgar and cinnabar in traditional Chinese medicine contain mercury, and realgar contains arsenic. Long-term and large-scale use of cinnabar and realgar will lead to the accumulation of heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic in human body, causing serious damage to liver and kidney function, and may damage human blood system and nervous system. So, be careful.
