Within the last 2 months, I gained the impression that grinded coffee might contain increased concentrations of heavy metal.
As early as in 2013, the federal institute for risk assessment (BfR) warned according to increased concentrations of lead within coffee machines, which were led back to the processes for deliming of the machines.
Indeed, I do not use any machine for making coffee and this is why I am therefore of the opinion that groceries transported by cargo ships (with or without container) are contaminated by the painting of the cargo space/containers with lead and other heavy metals. Especially, if the paintwork was just freshly applied, there is a strong evaporation. Furthermore, salt water in conjunction with higher (or changing) temperatures has a propitious effect on the oxidation of the painting. Debris in coffee machines would consequently (logically) be traceable to a previous contamination of the raw materials (coffee beans, grinded coffee). Our days, parts made of lead are not common to be installed within machines used for food processing. Besides, increased concentrations of lead are probably detectable within the water in areas of cargo ports.
Together with other initiatives, we are going to initiate independent laboratory tests for a broader range of groceries which might be potentially affected.
In doubt, what will aid in the event of a poisoning with heavy metals?
- Purging through natural zeolites (just the natural mineral on an empty stomach!)
- Deacidification of the body by supplying basic reacting (within the body/metabolism) substances (fruit acids, sodium hydrogen carbonate (e.g. sodium bicarbonate), vinegar, etc.) or baths with an increased content of sodium hydrogen carbonate and comparable.
Aside, historic information about the history of colors used for painting in ship construction:https://www.classic-forum.org/images/Buchrezensionen/Historisches/CF_Schiffsanstriche_im_Spiegel_der_Zeit_-_Ein_Rckblick_ber_die_Jahrhunderte.pdf
