Alex K Chen Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) I've been reading up more on hyperaccumulator plants lately. Some just accumulate heavy metals in their stems/trunks but not their fruit. Tobacco and cannabis are notorious hyperaccumulators. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7016143/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hyperaccumulators https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4235884/ https://www.analyticalcannabis.com/white-papers/a-conflicting-personality-can-hyperaccumulating-plants-like-cannabis-and-hemp-be-realistically-used-313509 https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/trees-created-clean-pollutants https://acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jeq2.20264 https://gyazo.com/861141b39f513af293ba9bea8f48521chttps://gyazo.com/861141b39f513af293ba9bea8f48521c Edited January 12, 2023 by InquilineKea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccoy Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 12 hours ago, InquilineKea said: chocolate accumulates lead AND cadmium easily.. The cocoa plant is said to accumulate lead and cadmium in its beans, but when I, an avid consumer of cacao powder and chocolate, had my urine metals checked, there was no excess cadmium nor lead. Ron, another member of this forum, had his cadmium checked and again, no excess contamination. That's n=2 but it shows that plant contamination is probably and usually not comparable to industrial contamination sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorF Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 to make n=3 my regimen is 20g (85% or higher) dark choko (different brands) and 10g of nibs daily (calebaut), cadmium is norm in the blood test, lead is also but I would like to have it even lower (imho cacao is not a big contributor of it unless it is grown on really contaminated land) Br, Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
