David Lincoln explains how we are being exposed to lead in so many ways

Lead in the bloodstream may cause violent behavior and multiple sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Products containing lead include jewelry, house paints, and mini-blinds made overseas.

David Lincoln is a geologist, environmental consultant, and author of a book called “Deep Horizons Exposed” who jumped off the corporate ladder and changed careers after he saw how Enron was being operated for the benefit of a select few. He maintains a website called WereYouPoisoned.com.
