Bioaccumulation of the toxins in fatty tissue.

[Guest guest]

Dear Bee,

Human and animal body accumulate excess of a toxins in fatty tissue in order to

protect it self from poison.

Considering extensive contamination of our current environment ( this is

contamination of air, water, soil, crops, we could expect that toxins are being

passed through the ecological chain to even those ` organically' grown species.

Therefore when we consume a good animal fat we are also consuming toxins stored

in this fat during animals life.

I agree, In case of `organic' meat toxin concentration in fat would be much

small than in the animals form the farms, which are feed with God knows what.

However toxins accumulation in the fat could be result of animal being ill or

stress during it life, that's mean organic meat could be also packed with

toxins.

Summarising all above, my concern is that by consuming animal fat we also

consume the toxins accumulated in this fat. (I have also same concern about

consuming liver meat).

I would be thankful for your thoughts on this subject.

My second question is about an eqs.

What would be an expected difference in nutrition value between organic and free

range eggs?

I expect free range eggs to be possibly depleted with omega 3 due to lack of

greens in hens diet.

What are your thoughts on this Bee?

All the best

Dobrusia

Ps. My health improved significantly, which is wonderful. Thank you for your

diet!

+++Hi Dobrusia. I disagree, since all bodies detoxify toxins they acquire from

any outside sources, including fish. If they didn't their livers would be

horribly diseased.

> Summarising all above, my concern is that by consuming animal fat we also

consume the toxins accumulated in this fat. (I have also same concern about

consuming liver meat).

+++The liver's purpose in all animals is to process toxins and direct them to

eliminating organs. The liver can change toxins, as needed, so they can be

excreted, which is what happens to fat soluble toxins which are changed into

water soluble ones.

+++Then the liver directs them to eliminating organs like the skin, kidneys,

lungs, gall bladder, large intestines, and via body fluids such as sweat, the

lymph system, etc.

+++But the liver itself is not loaded with toxins. Animals are sold long before

the liver could become diseased, and if the liver were diseased it is obvious

and they wouldn't put it on the market.

> My second question is about an eggs. What would be an expected difference in

be possibly depleted with omega 3 due to lack of greens in hens diet.

+++I don't think you mean that free-range eggs are depleted in omega 3, since

" true " free-range " is supposed to mean " the chickens are outside and have access

to their natural foods that include greens, insects, worms, bugs, small rodents,

etc. since they are omnivores like us, and like us they mainly need natural

proteins and fats.

+++The Weston A. Price Foundation says that " true " free-range eggs have a more

equal ratio of omega 3 to omega 6, whereas others have a lower ratio of omega 3

to omega 6.

+++That wonderful! Way to go!
