What if the big companies had been putting it in your spices all along and you didn’t even know?

Oh dear God. What garbage clickbait.

NO ONE is adding heavy metals to spices, certainly not on purpose. May there be residues from soil? Heavy metals are part of nature also. OK - what form are they? Are they non-toxic organic forms? What's the total content? What limits have regulatory authorities like FDA have?

This is typical of the problems of social media, and low-IQ mainstream media in general. It doesn't promote reasoned debate, learning or understanding - it only promotes fear and clicks.

Follow the links to the source - in this case, its an ambulance-chasing LAW FIRM trying to promote their class-action suit.

C'mon people!!!!!

Consumer Reports isn't lawsuit clickbait - and it's the content upon which this article is based. Maybe you don't care, fine. But maybe some of us do care - nothing worth scolding us for.

Do you know where most spices are grown? The Middle East. A place where they wipe their butts with their left hand.
