which supplements has the highest lead though
Why is everyone talking about lead which isn't really an issue, but cholesterol is killing people by the millions and absolute silence.
Lead literally makes people dumb lol
Not in the miniscule increase feom a vegan diet.
You are exposed to several times more living near a road.
That doesn't mean it is safe. Just because a pond is filled with garbage doesn't mean we are supposed to throw more garbage in it.
In fact there is no known medically safe levels of lead intake, as even little can cause harm. So adding more lead in your system — however minuscule it is — is harmful.
All the food safety agencies just give a blanket estimate range for safe levels for how much is tolerable for a human body based on practicality, not on medical basis.
