Yeah. One of the case studies we read about was a kid who had really high levels and they came and tested the whole house, nothing. Turns out the dad worked at a car battery plant and even though he changed out of his clothes at work he brought home enough lead to raise his whole families levels to above an action level.

He changed jobs and everyone's levels dropped.

maybe 85% of the testing was done by a guy who collects lead soldiers as a hobby.

I'm agreeing with the UT on this one.

I guess if your diet is so shitty that fruit juice is your best source of nutrients... by all means, go for it. :rolleyes: I'm not in the business of deciding what's relatively healthy for the rest of the self-destructive, bacon-gorging, raw-cookie-dough-spooning, powdered-cheez-product-inhaling, diabetic soda junkies out there. For my kids, personally, fruit juice is actually the least healthy thing they consume, even ignoring its alleged lead content. We're not all Smoking Pregnant Ladies (TM).

Well, maybe you're not pregnant, but you are smokin'.:blush:

Hey everybody - Clodfobble is dissing bacon!

Snickers Bars are my best source of nutrients.

I admit, I find the general internet bacon meme to be overplayed. Yeah yeah, it's a tasty piece of meat that's bad for you in large quantities, I get it.

Not bad... you'd only have to eat 100 of them to get a full day's allowance of most vitamins and minerals. That's better than I was thinking. But you'd still get no B12, so you'd better add a steak in there for balance.

It's not overplayed round these parts. Even in my educated-about-nutrition household -and the household of my gluten-free, organic-products-only friend. Some/most of us are fortunate enough to be healthy enough to eat crap more than we should and hope that we're getting all the right nutrients without actually tracking them. Fruit Juice is not necessarily our "best source of nutrients", but it's up there in our five servings a lot of days. You seems to have lost sight of the average family diet ...and maybe even how to enjoy food. Maybe there's no way for you to enjoy food and I'm sorry about that -but really... this food nazi suit does your general awesomeness no justice. And I do think you're awesome. Except when you diss bacon.

The actual eating of real bacon is fine. It's the meme I'm tired of. People making sculptures out of it, or wrapping a cigarette in bacon while they smoke it, and putting photos of it online thinking they're all anti-establishment or something. Sorry, I'm just grumpy. It's been a crappy week. I should probably just go eat some bacon.

ok, sorry, I missed that angle of your gripe. I get that -why waste perfectly good bacon, I say....

make sure you chocolate-coat yours first, though -I've heard dark chocolate has all sorts of good nutrients ;)

Just think, in chocolate covered raisins, it's the raisins that are bad for your teeth.

Everything we know is wrong.

I read a study the other day that said whole milk drinkers have less heart disease than skim milk drinkers. It turns out the fat in milk includes one of the important omega-3 fats.

Because for every study - there are 3 more that find the opposite results.

Hey Clod, Ever consider getting a juicer. The best apple juice I've ever tasted was frash from a juicer. If you buy fresh fruit and clean it well, you might eliminate all the lead.

Coffee is bad for you!

No, coffee is good for you!

On the other hand...
