There are many environmental toxins, which we are exposed to on a daily basis in the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. Even the homes we live in can be a source for toxins. Heavy metals are in drinking water, newsprint, hair dyes and rinses, pesticides, fertilizers, cosmetics, old lead-based paint and ceramics.
