@Michael569 You don't want to continue our conversation?

Not really, your endless scepticism is a real pain in the backside

@Michael569 My skepticism is grounded in numbers. I would like to hear your thoughts.....

If 1 apple has more Lead content than taking Apple extract then that 1 apple is more harmful.

Likewise with Protein Powder vs "real foods".

@Michael569 Don't call yourself a "health expert" if you're unwilling to talk about these topics. :|

@Michael569 Although protein powders have less heavy metal content than vegetables, protein powder is somehow more harmful because its "concentrated"?

I'm curious as to why you would think this.

If you identify yourself as a "health-expert", you should be able to explain yourself.

I never did call myself that lol. Heavy metal toxicity isn't my expertise nor an area I've done lot of research in besides some basic reading.

You are failing to grasp the complexity of this topic and the amount of research it takes to understand it. 

Refuting your arguments would require hours of in-depth research which I'm not going to dedicate time to in order to try changing your mind 

Make sure you appreciate the limitations of your knowledge as well.

That's all I have to say to this topic

My friend, judging from all the stuff you posted here and messages you sent me, I can sense a deep interest in the topic of food contamination. This is an incredibly important issue and as you have already noticed, there is work to do and teachings to share. So how about this: Lets stop arguing about this topic altogether and you aim to go deep into the nature of these questions. It will take you months to read the relevant literature and it will not be easy, but at the end of the day - you will know exactly what its really about. Hell, there is even a business/coaching possibility at the end of this, so maybe thats something you should really look into. 

Discussing highly complex topics and telling people to "prove you wrong" will do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Its ego bullshit, nothing more. Also, citing one statistic from one source is also not very scientific. Its a good find, but I can tell you from my knowledge that there is more to this than you think. Cherrypicking and lack of complexity is always a red flag when it comes to reality. Maybe even Leo can learn from you, but at the moment you are doing everyone a disfavor with the way you present.

@undeather

it's really not an interest in the topic but rather a semi-denial process.

he doesn't like how accepting leo's information would change perception and judgment of certain part of his world in contrast to his current one, so there is some process of denial, but yet since his self image is rooted in " universal plain objective science" which isn't as safely supportive of his current view as he would like it to be, the denial isn't just a straight success.

@undeather

I'm doing everyone a disfavor by presenting numerical facts?

I don't deny this.

I truly don't know the effects of heavy metal contamination.

I'm willing to admit that unlike you.

any reason would be wasted because you are hardly able of doing so.

you keep making the excuse that you need a reason, when it is your mind's flexibility that is the blockage not any external ignition.
