Don't forget the heavy metals!
Those are also worth taking into account. Mercury in seafood, for example. Some can be excreted by the human body, others can't.
You contradicted yourself. The latter quote is true.

You're right, I did contradict myself. I meant to say one thing and ended up making a silly statement that doesn't make sense given the values I espouse myself. Thanks for pointing it out.
Heavy metal is good for you. Gets you moving and can be cathartic. I prefer stoner, doom, or deathcore myself though. Load my body up with those types of metal.
Eh, the Moebius stuff was great but a lot of the material just pandered to adolescent boys.
Moebius and Giger and Jodorowsky!
Yeah, what do people mean "toxins are pseudoscience"?
What are microplastics, heavy metals, and PTFAs, then???
