Some ‘other’ considerations:
“…Lead deposition was reduced in animals that received supplemental zinc. There was a 30% reduction in lead deposition in the testis when zinc was coadministered…”
“…The presence of other metals such as zinc, copper, and iron may have a role in heavy metal toxicity. Klauder et al. and Six and Goyer reported that low dietary copper and iron enhanced the absorption of lead in rats. It has been observed that the gastrointestinal absorption of lead increases in the presence of ascorbic acid, low protein, and high fat, whereas it decreases in the presence of iron and magnesium…”

As lead is naturally found in drinking water and the soil plants grow in and thus the plants we eat, the smoke from fires, the blowing dust, and even in beach sea spray. One wonders how humans survived thus far from all that lead exposure… Diet perhaps... Humans evolved with a high meat diet containing many essentials. For example, bio-available zinc is found in meat.
I wonder what the diet is of those communities that have been claimed as ‘suffering’ from lead..?..
And why is it that true vegans have that pale pallid un-healthy look:
