here in the United States we legally allow for a good amount of heavy metal contamination up to five percent plus or minus except with legal cannabis which is more rigorously tested for containments including heavy metals with third party lab testing
nicotine and seasonings like vanilla extract that come from places like India that are very high in heavy metal contamination and businesses like the maker of Vuse sources their nicotine from places like that as well that have high concentrations of metal just like the seasonings
heavy metal contamination equals more Democrat and Republican voters so it is very much allowed here in the states
Heavy metals as lead (as Pb), not more than 10 parts per million. Arsenic (as As), not more than 3 parts per million. Mercury (as Hg), not more than 1 part per million.
It's crazy that it only takes one Google search to prove you wrong
This conspiracy holds absolutely no water. Lead makes people stupid and violent. Democrat voters tend to be more educated on average. This isn't even to mention that the families of these politicians would be consuming these poisons too, right? They're okay with this because of the grand conspiracy to create dem/repub voters in a country with only 2 parties anyway? Have you even compared regulations in the US to other places?
not a conspiracy that heavy metals are acceptable and that big wallets are controlling regulations and standards that keep them in power through things like controlling the environment of the people thereby keeping them sick and yes this happens globally with other countries having even lower big industry regulations that keep factories polluting the earth with the heavy metals in exorbitant amounts that eventually wind up in things we consume
people are not just kept in poverty and controlled by wages but also pollution
