Question from Joel
Can you please recommend a reliable and affordable lab that tests for lead, asbestos, radon and heavy metals (in food)? I live in New York City.
Thanks.
Joel
Debra’s Answer
This is a great question and one I would like to have an answer to.
I did some searching and didn’t come up with a lab that was really oriented to consumers. Though there are labs oriented to helping manufacturers, they are not affordable.
Are you considering testing every sample of food before you eat it? I think that would be impractical and expensive.
The best advice I can give you is to do your best to source the most organic raw food available to you and then prepare it yourself in your own kitchen. That is the best way to get the least contaminated food. You have a lot of organic food available in New York City.
Mike Adams at Natural News has done some work on this and you might find it to be of interest.
