TikTok's Heavy Metal Detox Fad: Unverified Claims and Potential Dangers

Concerns arise regarding the spread of misinformation about heavy metal detoxification methods. A recent TikTok video by user @stayhomemom77 promotes unverified and potentially dangerous practices, such as consuming moldy berries and unpasteurized blue cheese, to remove heavy metals from the body. While the video mentions humic acid as a natural antidote to graphene, citing a PubMed study, it fails to provide sufficient context or scientific evidence to support these claims. Experts warn against self-treating heavy metal poisoning and emphasize the importance of consulting a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment. The video's promotion of unproven methods could have serious health consequences. The information presented should be viewed with extreme caution.
