Full Study On Low Level Lead Exposure And Mortality Below
Lead Poisoning Deaths in America
Deaths in America from lead are something that is not really reported—outside of the studies conducted on the topic, there aren't often deep dives into why someone had a heart attack. If you've been to a doctor lately, you know that it's not like they spend all day on your care.
Lead Exposure and Elevated Blood Pressure
Elevated blood pressure from lead exposure is a real thing. The cause is neurological and cannot be resolved by diet and exercise, although a little exercise does go a long way towards lowering blood pressure—in my experience.
Modern Lead Levels and Cardiac Risk
Like I concluded in the video, there is definitely a bright spot in this study: if you have modern AVERAGE lead levels in your blood, you're not at risk for lead-induced cardiac-related death. It's now relegated to people who have elevated and sustained blood lead levels above about 2, who experience the increased risk of early death from heart attack.
Preventing Lead Poisoning with Fluoro-Spec
A pretty downer topic, I understand, but the good news is you're reading this today, so I implore you to reach for your best and spray some Fluoro-Spec on something you suspect could be giving you lead exposure.
Take Action: End Lead Poisoning
I say "help end lead poisoning," but I'm really trying to get everyone to start with themselves. It's like an airplane—put your own mask on first. We need to work together as a society, and as a creator of goods, I feel responsible to do my best to enable my production to benefit as many people as possible and hopefully impact the statistics of low level lead exposure and mortality.
The Impact of Mass Production and Lead Detection
Since I can, through the magic of mass production, affect so many people, there is a strong case to be made that as more people learn about their environment, and I am able to market to more people, to solve lead detection for as many paying Americans as possible, that I can trend into areas that would not likely think about testing at all. The more tests, the more knowledge, the more future generations who can think more clearly, and the fewer people who die early.
A Thank You for Supporting Lead Testing
Thank you for reading. If you have already gotten a test, thank you doubly for doing well for yourself, me, and everyone else down the line. I won’t stop until I get this test into the lives of as many people as who need it.
