Please be careful - High levels of toxic metals
I started to read the list of minerals: calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur, aluminum hydroxide..<br /><br />What? Why would you include aluminum hydroxide in a mineral supplement mix? Aluminum was removed from most over-the-counter products years ago during the first Alzheimer's scare. But then, as I continued to read the list (in VERY small print, I might add), my hair began to stand on edge...<br /><br />Antimony, Arsenic...<br /><br />ARSENIC??? They added the neurotoxin arsenic to a mineral drink? Why?<br /><br />At that point, I scanned the list for other neurotoxins. Sure enough, the list included cadmium, mercury and lead. And FLOURIDE, to boot. I was dumbfounded. Why on earth would a company purposely include the most horrible neurotoxins that we have been attempting to remove from our environments for years?<br /><br />"Plant-derived" = From a MINE!<br /><br />These so-called "plant-derived" minerals are apparently from the TJ Clark Mine in Utah. The reason they are called "plant-derived" is that the mine has ancient plant matter that did not undergo complete fossilization, and they use the soft, crumbly material from this mine for their products. It is sold by several companies, among them TJ Clark and Youngevity, and sold under several other company names, with the "plant-derived minerals" or "colloidal mineral" designation.<br /><br />Here's the problem, and perhaps they are so clueless they don't realize it: during sedimentation - when plant matter begins to become rock - it absorbs and fixes minerals that are not necessarily good for you - among them, the heavy metal neurotoxins mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and lead, plus the Alzheimer's-promoting combination of aluminum and fluorides.<br /><br />Please be careful when taking this supplement. There have been NO long term studies on the health effects of this product. You are all in fact human "Guinea Pigs."
