LOL what is this nonsense?
"Lead’s toxicity was recognized and recorded as early as 2000 BC and the widespread use of lead
has been a cause of endemic chronic plumbism in several societies throughout history. The
Greek philosopher Nikander of Colophon in 250 BC reported on the colic and anemia resulting
from lead poisoning. Hippocrates related gout to the food and wine, though the association
between gout and lead poisoning was not recognized during this period ( 450-380 BC). Later
during the Roman period, gout was prevalent among the upper classes of Roman society and is
believed to be a result of the enormous lead intake."

- FeteCommuniste 2y agoProbably the oddest comment I’ve seen on HN, endorsing not just lead but mercury and arsenic as well. Does he/she huff asbestos for health, too?
- potato3732842 2y agoI think it's satire of the typical "well akshually" comment you see on HN wherein one dishonestly portrays some minuscule exception as though it's the rule for a few cheap virtue score points from internet nobodies.
- Anotheroneagain 2y agoThe quotes are literally just made up. I looked it up once and the exact same person provided several recipes with heavy metals. Rome fell after they stopped using it, because its deficiency causes schizophrenia. People are not intelligent, they are making things up.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 2y agoOk dude, sure. What's your daily lead intake, and in what forms?
- Anotheroneagain 2y agoI just take a bit of red lead or lead sugar, whatever I have at hand. A huge dose by any modern claim. Look, why do we suffer from all those intractable "lifestyle diseases", need glasses and in general are the most unhealthy population in recorded history, and why is everything falling apart? People are literally insane, its toxicity is the lie.
