  • As far as I know. Lead in food from Mexico is the result of industrial pollution. Lead is used in paint because it makes the colors really vivid.

  • I knew about the paint, as for the food, thanks man.

  • The funny thing is that the lead is chemically bonded inside the toys...the only way to get exposure is to chew it and break it down.... so how about feeding kids food?

    As always love your video!!!!

  • Perhaps I'll go on a lead diet.

  • I remember being taught about plumbism when i worked at a zinc refinery. plumbism = lead poisoning. I pretty sure the toys or whatever have small traces or lead because the pipes that are used to transport the items are made of lead. The other intresting thing about lead poisoning is that it makes you go crazy. In medieval times some kings and queens went crazy because they had lead piping( drinking water.

  • I could listen to you say "lead" all day. It's the way it rolls off your tongue like a river of hot, molten lead, lead, LEAD !!!!!

  • grary-eh-moh-ser-maison.soup and spinach and some raisons

  • You are strangely engaging.  I feel like we could [not] talk about anything.

  • Why thank you! You're very funny too!

    We have just managed to turn horrible health hazards into thigh-slapping comedy!

  • Ha, I am glad I asked! Thank you for being so informative! All of this outsourcing is scary stuff, I just can't understand why traces of lead and salmonella are the only things people see as a danger, it's just always on the news. Lead's wholesome goodness, haha, you're funny.

  • that's her birdie!

  • I just remembered that we also put lead in gasoline, idky. So part of the exhaust gases, and consequently of the dust on streets and suspended on the air has lead. There's also a metal foundry near my house that emmits lead pollution who knows why. I think they extract copper and maybe they use the lead to remove the copper from the ore or something.

  • Mexican families enjoy eating pinto beans boiled for hours in said clay pots (which gives the beans a sweet taste) thus ensuring that our kids don't miss out on lead's wholesome goodness. So if your Mexican candy has lead in it, now you know it came from the cookware! Aren't you glad you asked?!

  • As a Mexican myself, I can tell you that in Mexico we eat a lot of lead and make you guys abroad also eat lots of yummy lead because our tin pots and pans are lined with a lead-based enamel. Also we use a lot of earthenware that is rich in lead, which is then glased in that same lead-rich enamel.
