“Lead causes mental retardation.”

I contend that that is crap science!

I contend some “professor” did the study and only tested stupid shits!

The smartest people of the last century drank all their water out of solid lead pipes, anyone doing bodywork vefore bondo breathed lots of lead dust, including myself, painters breathed lead paint when spraying, including myself,and sanded lots of lead paint. etc.

WOW, scientific confirmation from an auto body repairman. I guess all that stuff about closing wells and removing lead from solder is all BUNK per the auto body guy.

Also the water in Baltimore is intentionally made alkaline to keep the lead from leaching from old solder joints before they cut allowable lead to a fraction.

Guess the body guy is smarter than everyone else!

LOL! I always wondered about that ‘lead paint causes developmental problems’ idea. When I was growing up, most baby cribs were painted, and that paint included lead. I don’t know of many babies who DIDN’T chew on their cribs from the time they were able to pull themselves up to their feet. Given that, shouldn’t there be tens of MILLIONS of adults, born from the 1920’s up through the 1970’s, with developmental problems as a result?

Why don’t you eat lead paint chips for about a decade and get back to us.
