Back and mah day, we had lead in our paint and lead in our hearts and were just fine, if you ignore all our wild violent behavior!

In the 70s If you weren’t licking your toy cars as a kid, you were missing out.

Lead pipes were probably more of a concern but cars are tasty too.

Lead pipes aren’t a huge concern compared to leaded gasoline and lead paint. It is my understanding that the pipes quickly develop a patina which keeps the lead from touching the water.
