Lead series:
Phew! There it is, the 11th of my 11-part video series on lead. If you missed the first 10, here’s the list:
• How the Lead Paint Industry Got Away With It ([ Ссылка ])
• Lead in Drinking Water ([ Ссылка ])
• How the Leaded Gas Industry Got Away With It ([ Ссылка ])
• “Normal” Blood Lead Levels Can Be Toxic ([ Ссылка ])
• The Effects of Low-Level Lead Exposure in Adults ([ Ссылка ])
• How to Lower Lead Levels with Diet: Thiamine, Fiber, Iron, Fat, Fasting? ([ Ссылка ])
• How to Lower Lead Levels with Diet: Breakfast, Whole Grains, Milk, Tofu? ([ Ссылка ])
• Best Foods for Lead Poisoning: Chlorella, Cilantro, Tomatoes, Moringa? ([ Ссылка ])
• Best Food for Lead Poisoning - Garlic ([ Ссылка ])
• Can Vitamin C Help with Lead Poisoning? ([ Ссылка ])
Note there is nothing special about yellow bell peppers (other than the extraordinary vitamin C content!). That was just my attempt to figure a way to imagine some doable way to get 1000mg of vitamin C in whole food form (easier than eating 10 oranges!). Though remember that Parkinson’s video? Peppers & Parkinson’s: The Benefits of Smoking without the Risks? ([ Ссылка ]). So one would expect to get all the benefits of the 1000mg of vitamin C with benefits. Why not just take vitamin C supplements? See my video Do Vitamin C Supplements Prevent Colds but Cause Kidney Stones? ([ Ссылка ]).
If hundreds of milligrams day of vitamin C sounds like a lot, check out What is the Optimal Vitamin C intake? ([ Ссылка ]).
Then there’s the vitamin C and cancer series I did for anyone interested:
• Intravenous Vitamin C for Terminal Cancer Patients ([ Ссылка ])
• Vitamin C Supplements for Terminal Cancer Patients ([ Ссылка ])
• The Role of Vitamin C in the Treatment of Terminal Cancer ([ Ссылка ])
And finally, more on male fertility here (but nothing like those crazy results in that Texas study):
• Fukushima and Radioactivity in Seafood ([ Ссылка ])
• Male Fertility and Diet ([ Ссылка ])
• The Role of Diet in Declining Sperm Counts ([ Ссылка ])
• Dairy Estrogen and Male Fertility ([ Ссылка ])
• Dietary Pollutants May Affect Testosterone Levels ([ Ссылка ])
For those of you sick of lead, eat garlic! ([ Ссылка ]) :)
