However, despite these “revision surgeries”, cobalt or chromium poisoning can cause problems that require ongoing medical treatment for a long time. And you stop wasting money on products that don’t address your actual toxins! Because cobalt-60 is absorbed by the livers, kidneys and bone tissues, it can compromise the functions of these organs. Cobalt (Co) and its compounds are widely distributed in nature and are part of numerous anthropogenic activities. Food sources – brazil nuts, liver, garbanzo beans, hummus, chocolate, flax seeds. dry cell batteries). Through TESTING. Yet, when it happens, cobalt is very toxic to the heart muscle. Heavy metals like lead and mercury are toxic and can make you sick. Your use of this website indicates your agreement to these terms and those published here. You can swallow too much of it, breathe too much into your lungs, or have it come in constant contact with your skin.
