"Blood lead concentrations well below the accepted "safe" level harm youngster's intellectual and emotional development, a study released Thursday revealed.Oops.
Researchers from University of Bristol in the UK measured blood lead levels in 488 youngsters at age 2 and a half and linked these levels to scores on standardized assessment tests at age 7 to 8.
There was a clear link between blood lead levels in early childhood and academic performance by the ages of 7 and 8, the researchers report in the Archives of Disease in Childhood."
Still trust them to know what a "safe" food, drug or supplement is?
If you do, you probably have ingested too much lead.
