What are toxic heavy metals?
Heavy metals is the term used for a group of elements that have particular weight characteristics. They are on the “heavier” end of the periodic table of elements. Some heavy metals – such as copper, iron, manganese, and zinc – are essential to health in trace amounts. Others are non-essential and can be harmful to health in excessive amounts. These include cadmium, thallium antimony, mercury, lead, and arsenic – these last three being the most common in cases of heavy metal toxicity.
