Data shown here is only valid for the lot numbers shown here. All foods have natural variability from lot to lot (and even from season to season). Natural News in no way implies that the data shown here will be accurate across the entire inventory of this product, everywhere in the world. Products were purchased locally or online and may not represent the metals concentrations found in other lot number sold at different locations.
Items shown here were not tested for every possible contaminant. For example, they were not tested for pesticides, BPA, PCBs, and so on. They were only tested for selected elements.
ICP-MS analysis numbers are generally considered "good" if they are within +/- 10% of actual numbers. Every sample run will exhibit some small variability, even in the same lab. Different labs will almost always produce different results due to many factors, including lab humidity, elevation from sea level, digestion methods, purity of digestion acids, condition of ICP-MS equipment, electronic balance calibration, sample normalization accuracy and so on.
A low level of metals does not automatically mean the item being tested is safe to consume. There are many other possible contaminants and nutritional factors for which we do not test.
A high level of metals does not automatically mean the item being tested is dangerous to consume. Each individual's ability to detoxify toxic elements depends on a large number of factors including genetic predisposition, environmental exposure to toxic elements, diet, lifestyle, whether the person exercises and sweats on a regular basis, water consumption, and so on. If you are concerned about a particular item shown here, please discuss it with your physician or naturopath.
This information is provided as a public service, in the public interest. No person should rely on this data alone in making key decisions about their dietary intake or lifestyle choices. All such decisions should be made in conjunction with a qualified physician or naturopath who has a working knowledge of environmental toxins and nutrition.
