I keep saying the baby boomers are mentally retarded literally. I mean it is not their fault but sometimes the truth is SAD! Here is the proof They werent the first or the last society to make use of lead, but ancient Romans really were overwhelmingly surrounded by lead products, often in tangible ways that almost certainly had serious health consequences. Wine was typically boiled in lead-lined kettles, and more lead was often added later to both wine and food during preparation for the sweet flavor it imparted. Apart from that, lead found its way into many other varied items that were present in daily life, such as cookware, municipal plumbing, cosmetics, paint and bullets. Modern Americans have had it even worse at times, however: During a good portion of the 20th century, they were exposed to an estimated 10 percent more lead than even the citizens of ancient Rome. curiosity.discovery/question/ancient-romans-exposed-lead
