13 Secret Toxins Lurking in Your Food, and How to Avoid Them

[Niels Bohr 72]

Those toxins don't permanently exist within your body. They do get carried off by the liver and the lymph systems as time progresses. When they are in little quantities, it doesn't have any affect. The cells can repair itself if the quantities aren't dramatic.

Adipose (Fat) tissue disagrees with you. And since we're not talking about small, acute doses of these toxins... its irrelevant. A lot of people are exposed through diet to these toxins through life-long, chronic exposure... and its a bit irresponsible to claim negligible acute effects. Just being devil's advocate for a moment. Thank goodness hepatic (liver) tissue regenerates very rapidly- although it has its limits of toxicity, specially when it usually gets hit by more than one kind of toxin at any given mealtime.

They do stick to fat tissues for a long time, but, in the end it does get disposed just like steroids. But, if the period when the fat still has those toxins and the person eating those toxins, it will add to it. Right?

[HAL 9000 96]

Sure does- more exposure = more concentration of these toxins... ironically fat cells like to live a long time, too... and some hormone-like drugs like to stimulate their growth (division). But toxicity in cells can come in many shapes- its not always instant cell death.

This is like the Vietnam thing with the Agent Orange dioxin. Studies focusing on blood concentration tend to be off because they don't focus on solid tissues (organs) like fat and liver that tend to retain these chemicals and die off/mutate as a result of their exposure.
