We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
many of these leafy greens do in fact take up heavy metals from the soil we've known this for a long time and kale is one of the worst offenders here many samples of kale have massive levels of Thum in them a a metal that is essentially toxic for humans I think that much of this is based on this paper from Czech Republic — the uptake of thallium from naturally contaminated soils into vegetables
I talk about kale and yet another reason why you may not want to eat kale like thalium uh the fact that these leafy greens appear to pull metals from the dirt
kale is also full of thallium heavy metal that's horrible for you because it pulls it from the ground
and doesn't kale isn't it so bad for your thyroid it's horrible for your thyroid and isn't like the little bristles that get stuck with all those pesticides I'm sure it could and there's actually kale accumulates thallium so thallium is a heavy metal in the soil and there's people who have had thallium toxicity from eating kale
