Considering lots of people grew up with so much lead exposure in the past and that lead negatively affects every organ in the human body. As well as, the fact that lots of people were being exposed since they were babies, I don’t get how there are plenty of people 80+ years old these days in decent health?

You see many very old people in the inner cities?
