=== Crazy Levels of Lead and Aluminum (06:26) ===

[00:00:01]  I've got a public safety warning for you today.
[00:00:03]  We were testing probiotics purchased on Amazon.com, and we found a probiotic supplement that contained five parts per million lead and thousands of parts per million aluminum.
[00:00:19]  I think this one was 3,000 parts per million aluminum, which is crazy.
[00:00:25]  Those are insane levels of lead and aluminum to be in a dietary supplement.
[00:00:31]  And we bought these on Amazon.com.
[00:00:33]  And I filmed a video on this, by the way.
[00:00:36]  The video will...
[00:00:37]  You'll see it at foodforensics.com.
[00:00:41]  That's one of my websites.
[00:00:42]  But just in case you don't see that video or we don't get it produced in time, I'm recording this podcast, which will get out more quickly.
[00:00:50]  Now, this probiotic supplement is a soil-based probiotics product.
[00:00:57]  And...
[00:00:59]  We found that it's made with an ingredient.
[00:01:01]  The number one ingredient in it is Leonardite.
[00:01:06]  Leonardite.
[00:01:07]  Now, maybe you've never heard of Leonardite.
[00:01:09]  I hadn't until I ran across this product and we were just doing some routine testing and found all this lead and aluminum.
[00:01:17]  But Leonardite is a product that's mined out of the ground and it's used as a garden amendment by some people who don't know what they're doing.
[00:01:27]  And it's also apparently added to dietary supplements.
[00:01:31]  Now, I don't even know if that's legal to use it in dietary supplements.
[00:01:35]  That seems, I mean, I think that may very well violate FDA regulations on supplement safety.
[00:01:44]  But even if it doesn't, We tested the Leonardite separately, and we found something just horrifying.
[00:01:52]  The Leonardite is 10 parts per million lead and over 4,000 parts per million aluminum.
[00:02:00]  Just crazy.
[00:02:01]  Crazy levels.
[00:02:02]  I mean, 4,000 parts per million, that's 4 parts per thousand aluminum, which means 4 milligrams per gram is aluminum.
[00:02:11]  4 milligrams per gram.
[00:02:14]  So that means basically this is an aluminum supplement.
[00:02:17]  As if you needed more aluminum in your diet, you know, because you don't have Alzheimer's yet, so you want more aluminum.
[00:02:23]  You know, maybe you would love to live with dementia or kidney disorders or, you know, neurological problems.
[00:02:30]  Have an aluminum supplement, right?
[00:02:32]  I mean, this is satire.
[00:02:35]  You know, I'm joking on this point.
[00:02:37]  Aluminum is toxic.
[00:02:38]  You shouldn't eat it.
[00:02:39]  But why does Amazon.com sell a supplement made with aluminum?
[00:02:44]  Huh?
[00:02:45]  Why does Jeff Bezos care so little about the public that he's willing to sell a supplement that contains high levels of lead and aluminum?
[00:02:53]  There's a question for you.
[00:02:55]  Because they don't test their products.
[00:02:57]  They don't test what they sell, which is why, I mean, I didn't, this is not the purpose of this, to plug my store, but, you know, healthrangersstore.com, we test everything.
[00:03:08]  And that's why people shop with us, because they know that it's going to be clean, because we run all these tests.
[00:03:13]  That's how I find out all this stuff, because I'm buying products at grocery stores and Whole Foods and on Amazon, and I'm testing them, and I've got a big backlog, by the way, of other stuff to test.
[00:03:24]  There's tons of stuff I haven't tested yet.
[00:03:27]  But as I'm testing these things, I'm finding crazy levels of lead and aluminum sometimes, like in this case.
[00:03:33]  Now, we tested other probiotics, by the way, and they were fine.
[00:03:37]  You know, they were fine because they contain just probiotics.
[00:03:41]  And there's really no lead or aluminum in just regular probiotic strains, as you might expect.
[00:03:48]  But for some reason, this one company, they put this dirt, basically, in their product.
[00:03:56]  They have soil-based microorganisms and then they throw all this mined up basically dirt in it.
[00:04:02]  And the dirt's got a lot of lead and aluminum in it.
[00:04:06]  And then they sell this as a healthy gut supplement?
[00:04:09]  Are you kidding me?
[00:04:10]  Think about the ethics of these companies, right?
[00:04:13]  What kind of evil manufacturers of supplements would sell this?
[00:04:18]  What kind of people would do that?
[00:04:20]  Number one, either they didn't test their own product, which is highly unethical to begin with, or they did test it and they said, ah, that's okay.
[00:04:27]  Yeah, just sell the aluminum, sell the lead, whatever.
[00:04:31]  That would be highly unethical, but man, I see it all the time.
[00:04:34]  I see it all the time in this industry.
[00:04:36]  You think just because some supplement is promoted as, oh, natural health and it's organic, because they can say organic on anything that's mined out of the earth.
[00:04:46]  They say like, oh, it's organic humic acid.
[00:04:49]  Well, they don't mean certified organic by the USDA because it's not an agricultural product.
[00:04:53]  It's mined out of the ground.
[00:04:55]  What they mean is organic chemicals, like organic carbon-based molecules.
[00:05:01]  That's organic chemistry.
[00:05:03]  You know, there are two branches of chemistry.
[00:05:05]  There's inorganic chemistry and there's organic chemistry.
[00:05:07]  And generally speaking, organic chemistry is chemistry involving molecules that have carbon in them.
[00:05:14]  And so I guess these people are selling carbon-based stuff.
[00:05:18]  They just call it organic.
[00:05:20]  And the average consumer is like, organic?
[00:05:21]  It must be clean.
[00:05:22]  No, it's full of lead, actually.
[00:05:24]  And they call it organic.
[00:05:25]  It's just...
[00:05:26]  It's unreal the level of deception that's out there in the supplements industry and the food industry and the drug industry.
[00:05:36]  I guess everything.
[00:05:38]  I don't know what it is that...
[00:05:40]  You ever feel like...
[00:05:41]  You ever feel like you're...
[00:05:43]  You're such an oddball for having ethics.
[00:05:46]  Because you live in a world where nobody seems to have ethics and all the business owners are like cheats and the politicians are liars or even pedophiles.
[00:05:56]  And here you are operating with ethics and you just feel like, what's wrong with our world?
[00:06:02]  Why don't other people have some basic honesty or decency?
[00:06:05]  That's the way I feel in the supplements industry.
[00:06:08]  I'm like, why don't these other companies just have some basic decency?
[00:06:10]  Why don't they test their product?

=== Independent Lab Testing (05:10) ===

[00:06:12]  I mean, seriously, if you're going to sell this to the public, And it's got all these fancy names, you know, implying medicine and doctors and prescriptions and, you know, healing and all these things.
[00:06:24]  All kinds of different terms.
[00:06:25]  And then they never test their own product?
[00:06:27]  Really?
[00:06:29]  It's unreal that this is going on, but it is.
[00:06:32]  We see it every day.
[00:06:34]  And you know what's funny?
[00:06:35]  Despite all the censorship of my work, and now you know why I'm censored, because I tell the truth.
[00:06:41]  Truth is treason in a time of deceit, in an age of deceit.
[00:06:45]  Truth is treason, right?
[00:06:47]  So the more you tell the truth, the more you get censored.
[00:06:50]  But because I tell the truth, we have so many people that follow our work.
[00:06:55]  And we have ongoing support for our online store, healthrangerstore.com.
[00:07:01]  All the hundreds of products that we offer, superfoods, supplements, green living, home care products, personal care, laundry detergent without toxic fragrance chemicals, all this stuff.
[00:07:12]  People continue to support us.
[00:07:14]  Our business is steady, thanks to you, because we're doing the work.
[00:07:20]  We're doing the testing.
[00:07:22]  We're going through the grinder on this stuff for you.
[00:07:25]  We are running it through the mass spec instruments.
[00:07:28]  We're doing the sample prep.
[00:07:29]  We're doing the methanol extraction for glyphosate testing.
[00:07:33]  We're paying the $1,000 a month electricity bills for the ICP-MS because it has a plasma torch.
[00:07:39]  We're doing all this work for you.
[00:07:42]  So that you know that you have clean products when you shop at our store, healthrangerstore.com.
[00:07:47]  And in the process of doing this, of course, we use those same lab instruments to test other people's products.
[00:07:53]  And we keep seeing crazy levels of contamination.
[00:07:58]  Especially products from China.
[00:07:59]  But in this case, this product is made in the USA, by the way.
[00:08:02]  The one that I'm talking about here.
[00:08:03]  It's got all this five parts per million of lead in it.
[00:08:07]  And by the way, you might wonder, why don't I name the company?
[00:08:10]  Why don't I name the company?
[00:08:11]  Well, number one, it's easy to see for yourself because all you got to do is look for an ingredient called Leonardite.
[00:08:18]  That's the company.
[00:08:20]  I mean, that's the product.
[00:08:22]  I'm not naming the company because I have a lot of very harsh things to say about this company.
[00:08:26]  And these companies, they always try to threaten lawsuits and everything.
[00:08:31]  And then sometimes they'll try to file a lawsuit and then I have to go through the trouble of having it dismissed.
[00:08:36]  Because no one's ever successfully sued us over any kind of lab results because we're right.
[00:08:40]  We're ISO accredited people.
[00:08:43]  I mean, you can't argue with our lab science.
[00:08:45]  Anybody can send this to any lab in America and they will confirm our findings.
[00:08:50]  So I'm not telling you their name.
[00:08:52]  But just look at the ingredients.
[00:08:54]  If you see Leonardite as the ingredient, that's the product.
[00:08:58]  Don't buy it because it's toxic.
[00:09:00]  And I think the company, I think they should be shut down, frankly.
[00:09:04]  I mean, I think this is a public health hazard.
[00:09:07]  I think it's highly unethical, maybe even illegal, but I guess that's up to the FDA to decide, except the FDA is not even doing anything about these companies.
[00:09:14]  We've run into that before so many times.
[00:09:17]  We find a product that's got some alarming level of aluminum or lead in it, and the FDA doesn't do a damn thing.
[00:09:23]  We've actually reported a couple of products to the FDA. They don't do anything.
[00:09:27]  You know why?
[00:09:28]  Because they're busy promoting pharmaceuticals and vaccines all the time.
[00:09:31]  They don't care about food safety.
[00:09:33]  You think they care?
[00:09:34]  No.
[00:09:35]  All they care about is E. coli that makes people die immediately.
[00:09:39]  But they don't care about the lead and the aluminum that gives you Alzheimer's or cognitive impairment.
[00:09:45]  Because, hey, from their point of view, that just sells more pharmaceuticals long term, right?
[00:09:49]  So they're making patients.
[00:09:52]  By feeding you toxic food loaded with heavy metals so they don't have any reason to stop that.
[00:09:56]  That's their business model.
[00:09:58]  Poison you with food and medicate you with prescription drugs.
[00:10:01]  So that's why they don't care.
[00:10:03]  And that's why this stuff has to come down to an independent lab like us.
[00:10:09]  We sound the alarm because no one else will.
[00:10:12]  So watch for this video.
