Chemical Make-up of Body Indicates Wealth

Your wealth graph is there in your body. Believe it or not, it is a fact proved by scientists from University of Exeter, UK. Dr Jessica Syrrell and her team analysed links between a person’s social-economic status and the presentation of chemicals in the body and found the type of chemical toxicants in the body depends on the person’s wealth. With the change of lifestyle the types of chemicals in the body also alter, they found. Persons with higher income have more several toxicants including urinary mercury, arsenic, cesium and thallium.

The results from six different populations indicate strong association between 18 chemicals and poverty ratings.

You are what you eat, the old adage, is now scientifically proved.
