(NaturalNews) If you’ve wanted to know what really goes on inside the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, I’ve just launched a video providing a stunning visual tour. See how we digest food samples, prepare external standards and introduce samples into the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry instrument (ICP-MS).
Click here to watch the video now.
This tour also reveals food and nutrition secrets involving the table of elements, radioactive isotopes and heavy metals avoidance strategies.
For those who are curious about the instrumentation that makes all this possible, I provide a full tour of the inner workings of the ICP-MS technology, including a discussion of the nebulizer, spray chamber, plasma torch, octopole reaction chamber, quadrapole mass analyzer and detector.
You’ll learn fascinating facts about how foods are testing for metals contamination, including details about acid digestion methodologies and the high volumes of argon gas used in the quantitative analysis process.
As you probably know, I’m the director of the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, and I not only run and maintain this instrumentation, I also use it for high-level R&D projects to develop breakthrough methodologies for food science analysis, including the Metals Retention Factor and Metals Capturing Capacity.
In the video, I also reveal a true story about a funny skeptic who floated a conspiracy theory which claims my lab work is “too difficult” for a journalist to grasp, and therefore I must be running some sort of elaborate hoax while somehow stealing all the lab data from a university somewhere. (I take that criticism as a welcome compliment.)

See our heavy metals food testing results here. And our photo galleries are found here.
You can help support our lab by spreading the word and sharing the lab results you find interesting. Hundreds of foods have already been tested, and our aim is to have over 1,000 products posted this year.
About the author:
Mike Adams (aka the “Health Ranger“) is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, the internet’s No. 1 natural health news website, now reaching 7 million unique readers a month.
With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource now featuring over 10 million scientific studies.
In addition to being the co-star of the popular GAIAM TV series called Secrets to Health, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.
In 2013, Adams created the Natural News Forensic Food Laboratory, a research lab that analyzes common foods and supplements, reporting the results to the public. He is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed “strange fibers” found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health “gurus,” dangerous “detox” products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released ten popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
