so, are there any lingering concerns about heavy metals in these items?

arsenic

the anchovies are unusually high in arsenic. i haven't been eating them regularly, and wanted to wait until i revamped the pasta bowl before i readded them. surely, i can find a better source of omega-3s than fish.

cadmium

the sunflower seeds are higher than most items but they don't seem to be high enough to worry about. still. it'll be something to consider when i do a final run through it.

lead

i don't seem to have any sinks of lead in my diet.

mercury

the anchovies are still worse than most, but it's in a reasonable range. i was apprehensive about this and have developed cold feet around it.
