DOCTOR’S NOTE
That’s why it’s critical to “get the lead out” of our tap water. It’s estimated that most of our lead exposure comes from food, rather than water. But, it’s not what we eat; it’s what we absorb. If 90% of the lead in food is blocked from absorption by the very fact that it’s in food, you could get 10 to 20 times more lead absorbed into your bloodstream consuming the same amount of lead in water drunk on an empty stomach.
