Fight Lead with Nutrition

Nutrition is one of the first lines of defense against the harmful effects of lead. People who eat a healthy diet are less affected by lead in the body than someone with poor diet habits. Foods high in iron, calcium and vitamin C protect the body from lead. The body absorbs lead easier on an empty stomach, so make sure not to skip meals!

Here are some helpful links to keep you informed about community responses to lead.
