Eating to block Lead absorption

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

A few years ago, during one of my Get into Shape phases, I subscribed to getting Dr. Greger's Blog. It's usually about dieting. Today's blog is about Lead consumption and is quite interesting.

The gist of it, is if you eat after you may have been exposed to Lead, your body is more likely to pass it through and not as likely to absorb the Lead. I guess the body is busy doing other things.

Even more interesting it the data that lead intake is worse from water soluble than from ingested. That if it is accurate should play hell with the lead ingested by birds theory.

You say that as if it would matter, when we all know that it won’t.

The young nephew of our friend had high lead levels when he was 4-5 yrs old. They lived in an old house and he spent a lot of time playing in the dirt outside along the foundation. Everyone assumed it was from lead in the paint. Turned out he was the only one drinking copious amounts of the tap water. The water main was lead and was the source of the heavy metal poisoning.
