When you ingest contaminants, your body's natural defense systems work to eliminate them through the liver and kidneys. The liver helps break down and detoxify contaminants, while the kidneys filter them out of the blood and excrete them through urine. In some cases, contaminants may be stored in fat cells or eliminated through sweat or feces.
