Why are heavy metal salts poisons for the body?

1) Heavy metals are not assimilated by the body, but they can accumulate in its cells and tissues.

2) Heavy metals are very harmful, because they can replace metals in the active center of various enzymes, thus inhibiting their action. In turn, without enzymes, all reactions in the body will not be able to proceed normally. Also, heavy metals can bind with other substances, also disrupting the functioning of the body. In addition, heavy metals can build up in bone, making it fragile.

3) Inopportunely noticed poisoning with such metals often leads to death.
