### Breakthrough Discovery in Food Science: Metals Capturing Capacity
**TUCSON, Ariz. – Jan. 10, 2014** – The Natural News Forensic Food Lab has made a revolutionary discovery that could change how we understand the interaction between natural foods and toxic heavy metals. Dubbed the “Metals Capturing Capacity” (MCC), this groundbreaking research, led by Mike Adams, the “Health Ranger,” measures how effectively various natural foods can bind and neutralize harmful elements like cadmium, arsenic, mercury, lead, copper, and aluminum.
### What is Metals Capturing Capacity?
At its core, the Metals Capturing Capacity is a quantitative measure, revealing how many micrograms of toxic heavy metals can be captured by one gram of any tested food. This innovative approach provides tangible results where previous general claims about food’s capability to absorb heavy metals lacked scientific backing.
Distinctly, earlier assertions—such as cilantro absorbing heavy metals—lacked rigorous testing. Adams’ research methodologically examines these claims, offering specific data points to validate or refute commonly held beliefs.
### Significant Findings from the Research
One astonishing revelation from the research is the limited effectiveness of cilantro in binding metals. Contrary to popular belief, its ability to capture toxic elements is quite low. Conversely, the study found that many foods containing natural insoluble fibers exhibit a robust capacity to bind with mercury, including surprising categories such as processed snacks. For instance, Doritos, made from GMO corn rich in natural fibers, turned out to capture mercury effectively.
This finding underscores a crucial aspect of dietary choices, implying that almost all grains, fruits, vegetables, and high-fiber foods serve as powerful allies against mercury exposure. Adams recommends incorporating whole, organic foods—like fresh apples—into daily meals to enhance this protective effect.
### Practical Applications for Everyday Nutrition
The implications of this discovery extend beyond academic curiosity; they present actionable strategies for consumers concerned about heavy metals in their diets, particularly those worried about mercury from fish. By pairing fish meals with high-fiber foods—fruits, vegetables, or even fiber supplements—individuals can significantly diminish their body’s mercury absorption, reportedly by over 99% in some circumstances.
This newfound knowledge empowers consumers with practical strategies for improving their dietary habits and safeguarding their health. For example, integrating high-fiber elements into meals containing fish can act as a powerful preventive measure against metal toxicity.
### Insights on Superfoods and Algae
Among the most promising findings were the results regarding certain superfood algae, such as chlorella and spirulina. These algae demonstrated a high selective affinity for particular toxic elements, indicating that they could be valuable for detoxifying heavy metals from the body. This highlights the growing importance of superfoods in modern diets, showcasing their potential role in promoting health and wellness.

By shining a light on the intricate relationship between our food and environmental toxins, Adams’ research opens the door to a better understanding of nutritional science and a path towards healthier living.
### Making Informed Choices in Food Consumption
In an era where the importance of clean eating is paramount, the findings regarding the Metals Capturing Capacity serve as a reminder of the significant role nutrition plays in our overall health. The ability of various foods to bind toxic elements not only redefines our approach to dietary choices but also emphasizes the need for ongoing research into how natural foods can mitigate health risks associated with heavy metals.
