Are Your Dental Fillings and Bottled Drinks Harming Your Heart?

Did you know that heavy metals like mercury and antimony can accumulate in heart cells? Research, as discussed by Dr. Thomas Levy, has shown that people with severe heart failure had drastically higher levels of these toxic metals in their heart tissue—up to 22,000 times more mercury and 1,100 times more antimony than normal cells. Mercury often comes from old dental fillings, but where does antimony come from? The plastic bottles we drink from daily. Antimony trioxide, used to make PET plastic, can leach into drinks, especially when exposed to heat or acidic liquids like fruit juice. Understanding these hidden sources can help you make healthier choices.
