Can't eat too much fish because of mercury. I look at the dust I clean off my furniture each week, I don't smoke but I pray for my lungs every night. I could go on and on but you get what I mean.

Lead is in everything from air, to water, to paint, to soil and now vitamins. I'm glad this article was written as I recently wrote on my blog related to the severity of lead bellies that exist today.
