Wow, wasn’t that an amazing story? And just so incredibly sad.

Here’s the pregnancy video I mentioned: Should Pregnant Women Take Calcium Supplements to Lower Lead Levels? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Should-Pregnant-Women-Take-Calcium-Supplements-to-Lower-Lead-Levels).

Even if supplements had no contamination, check out my videos Are Calcium Supplements Safe? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-calcium-supplements-safe) and Are Calcium Supplements Effective? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-calcium-supplements-effective).
