Bone Broth: The Celebrity-Endorsed Superfood - What Does Science Say?

Despite its many touted advantages, bone broth isn’t without risks. One concern is the potential presence of heavy metals such as lead, which can leach into the broth during the long boiling process. Some studies have found elevated lead levels in homemade broths, while others have shown minimal contamination. The risk may largely depend on the source and quality of the animal bones used. Using organic or pasture-raised bones could reduce this hazard.
