Um...So “older” brains are aged brains due to lead?
Right now the Chinese are burning coal and ejecting huge amounts of mercury into the air.
I’ve suspected for sometime that airborne and waterborne mercury are the primary cause of autism. Yes, it runs in families and seems to be genetic, but there is a trigger that sets it off.
Infants who are chelated at an early age have been cured of autism. I think that is very, very important.
Both Abe Lincoln and John F. Kennedy died prematurely because of this.
If eating lead paint chips can only affect me decades later, I see no reason to stop now.
That’s why I’m getting heavier too!
If lead based paints were used on toys produced in China, were they also used on cooking utensils, pots, and dinnerware, the things which could most easily get lead poisoning into all segments of our society, not just children? Were Chinese manufacturers so concerned about the possible effects of lead poisoning that only toys slipped the safety standards? Have any tests been run on food preparation articles or dinnerware made in China?
Age might be related to aging in older brains.

Andrew Todd, PhD, who works in the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, uses a clear acrylic leg filled with real human bone to calibrate the bone lead measurement system on Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007. The system measures lifetime exposure to lead, which could, in part, account for decreased cognitive function among senior citizens.
