Kale is heralded for its ample supplies of calcium, magnesium, potassium, Vitamin K, and various healthful phytochemicals and anti-oxidants. But the superfood is hiding a nasty secret: dangerous levels of heavy metals.

In a recent study, molecular biologist Ernie Hubbard found that kale—along with cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and collard greens—is a hyper-accumulator of heavy metals like thallium and cesium. What's more, traces of nickel, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and arsenic are also common in greens, and this contamination affected both organic and standard produce samples.

The source? Its soil. "If it's left in the ground, the leafy greens are going to take it up," Hubbard told Craftmanship magazine.

介意我作翻譯嗎?

Kale是預示著其充足的鈣，鎂，鉀，維生素K，以及各種健康的植物化學物質和抗氧化劑的供應。但是，超級食品是躲在一個討厭的秘密：重金屬危險水平。

在最近的一項研究，分子生物學家Hubbard發現，白菜，西蘭花，菜花，羽衣和羽衣甘藍，是一個超級集重金屬,如鉈和銫。更重要的是，有鎳，鉛，鎘，鋁和砷的痕跡，可以在綠色產品發現，而這種污染影響有機和標準樣品。

來源？它的土壤。 `如果它留在地上，綠葉蔬菜將採取它，'Hubbard 告訴手工藝品雜誌。
