Did you just experience a little déjà vu? If so, you’re doing better than me! About two years ago I did a video about this very same study and then totally forgot about it. Then when I was doing my big lead series last year I ran across the article again and I was like hey, I should do a video about it! It was fun for me to go back once I realized it and see how such a different video can be done around the same science. You can check it out at Lead Contamination in Bone Broth (nutritionfacts.org/video/lead-contamination-bone-broth/).
Here’s the video I alluded to in the video Filled Full of Lead (nutritionfacts.org/video/filled-full-of-lead/) and of course got tons more on lead:
