Toxic Threat: Heavy Metals in Baby Food Put Children at Risk of Cancer and Neurological Damage: As more and more baby foods are being taken off the shelves because they contain high levels of heavy metals, scientists and food specialists are investigating the possible consequences for our well-being, specifically in relation to the risk of developing cancer. THe problematic metals that pose a threat to human health, including cadmium, arsenic, and lead, are taken up by crops from various sources such as air, soil, and water. This issue is not limited to applesauce, as contaminated apples also contribute to the problem; other affected foods include spinach, nuts, rice, and cereals, all of which contain trace amounts of these heavy metals.
