If you’ve ever heard of Metamucil, that’s just psyllium husk in a powder form and it’s not just for old people. Adding some of this to your daily routine has a ton of benefits. I tried to write a few sentences explaining the benefits but they all turn out like shit.
Sorry to rain on your parade but psyllium plants soak up lead, and ConsumerLabs tested different brands and they all had significant lead, and like half of them had more lead than California’s suggested maximum. No way to avoid it. I switched to Citrucel or something generic that doesn’t have that problem.
Isn’t the whole point that it’s non soluble fiber though? Meaning it more or less just uh, passes through.
You know what’s good at removing lead from the body? Fiber. Real catch 22 here, drink more fiber, get more lead, drink more fiber, remove more lead.
And just to have a non-jokey answer, if it’s grown outdoors, it’s probably got lead in it. Prop 65 labels are on everything, making it the Boy Who Cried Wolf of safety labels at this point.
