I'm going to be the Debby downer here sorry. According to a very respected independent lab, ConsumerLab.com, all psyllium contains heavy metal lead in various amounts. Some as much as 8.5 micrograms per 4 grams of fiber, yielding over 60x the California warning level in a maximum daily serving. Any amount of lead in your body is not good.

Please read the full article if you are concerned:

There are brands which are tested and contain far less lead - and only one product contained the high amount of lead cited.

When we refer to studies, it is important to report the results fairly and accurately.
