Isn’t that frustrating? Why don’t they just try out foods on people? Wait until you see my next video! (Best Food for Lead Poisoning - Garlic (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Best-Food-for-Lead-Poisoning-Garlic)). Then two more and then I put lead to rest: Can Vitamin C Help with Lead Poisoning? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Can-Vitamin-C-Help-with-Lead-Poisoning) and Yellow Bell Peppers for Male Infertility and Lead Poisoning? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Yellow-Bell-Peppers-for-Male-Infertility-and-Lead-Poisoning). Please let me know if you appreciate these deeper dives or you’d rather the quickie hit-and-run single video topics.
