I like how our government is "concerned", instead of actually doing something.
Holy Christ… So decades of eating chicken soup for colds and flu was actually eating a bowl of lead ? Hasn't anybody done a test of animals skin, muscle and bones for heavy metals? Living on the polluted Earth has become a toxic bio hazard from land, sea and air . WTF !
Sure it’s not in the water? I do not take supplements unless I make my own. Drink raw goat milk. Ugh yes the lead in the bullets suck. Let’s just eat nothing
Eat a swordfish, please lead is everywhere. In the ground and waters. How to you know what the plant takes?
Lead is everywhere. I buy my meat from the farm. Why blame the food when it as you said from everywhere.
What do you think we should eat? Very curious about that? Skin of animals is where all the crap is stored
Yuck!
Idk, i take Bone broth and i feel and look great.
Have you ever been walking in the woods, or along a road, and see animal bones? I'm always kind of creeped out by it. It's the remains of a dead body. The idea of boiling those bones in water and then drinking it, makes me shudder
Sorry English is not my mother tongue I don't understand well why are the animals contaminated with lead does it come from what they eat and is it only chicken or every farm animals
IT Stinks like PETA!
you could hear the eye roll after "paleo diet advocates"
Is there a way to rid the body of lead that's already been ingested? I've been supplementing organic (cow) bone broth for a while now and seeing this vid got me nervous, especially since I've had some of the symptoms described as too much lead exposure.
Chicken and bone broth are fine and safe, especially if you make it yourself. I like some of Dr. Gregers other videos, but he missed the day in organic chemistry where they taught the basic truth that "the dose makes the poison"
The FDA has a provisional daily safe intake level for lead of 6ug/day. Eating 1 cup of even the highest concentration of lead in the soup (9.5ug/L) would only give you a lead dose of 2.2ug, or 36% of your safe daily intake of lead. Of course you don't want to be eating lead, but it is ubiquitous at these minuscule levels. Go check your municipal water supply Federally required annual report, there is lead in the water you drink at similar levels (and probably higher levels if you drink bottled water).
It would be an interesting experiment since Dr. Greger loves double blind studies to test various home made vegetable soups for lead and other heavy metals. It is very likely that they too contain similar levels of lead, with similarly minimal impacts to health.
With modern detection methods, we are able to detect virtually all heavy metals in the micro-gram and pico-gram levels in virtually all foods, and at these concentrations they are harmless.
uh oh, I may go to the range a few times a year but I shoot hundreds of rounds..
Is there lead in gummybears? They are made from bones, isnt'it?
At 0:58 isn't just that in India tho?!
Then there must be a solution for release the lead from the body right? eating a lot of broccoli…LOL anyone has a solution?
now I can not drink chicken soup at souplantation anymore. =/ The unethical practice in industrial and agricultural industry just profit driven and ignore the negative impact they created to the plant and us/ people. sad and hope more social and environmental resposible firms provide better practice and help to change the policies, and our plant for better.
Why does chicken broth has lead in it? Considering that just about every chicken in America is on feed instead of foraging in the barnyard it's because the grains they are fed have lead in them. Yes, American chickens are vegan. And just like you they get their lead from the vegan food they eat. We all know about the problems with rice grown in the South with arsenic, why would you think that metals like lead don't also get into your veggies?
Another contributing factor to the insanity that is gun control in America.
Do you think all this lead poisoning is why people are having cognitive issues. And don't see how gun control in the US would actually be a positive. Got a whole lotta people with lead poisoning walking around with guns. So…how much lead is in gelatin?
Who sponsored the last study mentioned with the chicken broth?
I remember reading years and years ago in the Tuft's University Diet and Nutrition letter that if you ingest lead that you should drink Coke which turns the lead into lead phosphate which is then harmlessly removed from your body. Perhaps NutritionFacts.org can comment on this?
Wait… Did no one actually watch the video? Did everyone just miss it?
It's not the case that bone broth is evil. Or rather, it's not particularly evil. All animal parts are contaminated with lead!
do you really believe it ? that means chicken soup is deadly and makers of the canned variety have not ever tested their soup for lead ? or is this a desperate vegan dr finding an oddball study that proves what he wants to prove .
how pathetic can you get
Just a bit of conflicting info in the video Doc. If lead can be found in Ca supplements, how can taking Ca help pregnant mothers decrease lead exposure?
What about all the neurotoxins people inject into babies?
The EPA's limit for lead in tap water is 15 ug/L. The bone broth level shown in the video is lower than this. I know that any amount of lead is toxic, but isn't lead in everything pretty much? I mean, it's in the soil, so it will end up in our fruits and vegetables too, right?
So you are arguing that chicken meat with 2.5 times the lead amount of tap water is dangerous to eat, yet people drinks liters of water a day and may only eat a few hundred grams of chicken? Sorry Dr. Greger, but this seem more like fear hyperboling.
So, how do we escaped from lead contamination?
Thank you so much for this beautiful video, So much information.
Your video on calcium supplements containing lead due to being made from bone made me switch to a calcium supplement made from citrus fruit. I didn't know bones could contain so much lead. Makes me wonder about those who use bonemeal on gardens to increase calcium in the soil. They could be contaminating their soil with lead and not even know it.
Now I want to know how prevalent lead is in turmeric supplements.
Interesting they found more lead from the broth made with tissue than the bones? I wonder how much lead is in chicken in general?
Another scare campaign from vegans…do all chicken bones contain lead? ofc they do not only those grown in polluted land …it's a totally safe and highly nutritious food source .
Super informative video! Thanks for posting! This will certainly help viewers not to be . . . mis-lead . . . [couldn't help it ] . . .
Bone broth just doesn’t sound right. It’s not your fairy tale Stone Soup.
Great! Let's all go to space!
