How do toxins get into your system?

Answer 1

Toxins enter a food chain from a toxic (eg. D.D.T) being put on the producer, The producer gets eaten by a consumer which has that toxin (poison) inside its body. That consumer may not die but the predator which eats it may die.

Answer 2

They can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or ingested with food and drink. There is little hope of keeping them out, but the good news is that there are many substances now known to be effective as antitoxidants.

There is a chelator called Qivana Qore detox that can rid your blood cells and tissues of heavy metals, free radicals and toxins. It cleanses the digestive tract and prevents the reabsorbtion of toxins. You can order a free sample. Go to www.myqivana.com/dbellefleur

Answer 3

The toxin becomes more and more concentrated in the animals.

For example: if plankton absorb small amounts of Mercury that has been leaked into the water and a small filter fish eats them, then that fish collects their nutrients and the mercury. The fish uses energy but the mercury becomes more concentrated in the body of the fish since the fish eats so much plankton to survive. Larger fish, like Sail-fish, eat the smaller fish and the mercury accumulates in the bodies of the larger predator fish.

Each link on the food chain has to be smaller than the one below it since only about 10% of the energy is passed on, this means that toxins such as mercury are passed on and concentrated since the animals cannot eliminate the chemical from their body.

Answer 4

Toxins can enter the blood the same way oxygen does: though the alveoli in the lungs.
