Empowering Communities for Change

In 2021, the US Congress issued two reports on the problem of heavy metals in baby foods sold in the United States. The problem continues today as it has for many, many years. Only through research can we collect the data needed to remove the legally allowable heavy metals from the food supply. The old model of evaluating the toxicity of one heavy metal at a time must change because in reality, our children are being exposed to several heavy metals at a time every single day. These co-exposures to heavy metals are major factors in the development of diseases and disorders via gene-environment interactions.
