Has anyone seen this article supposedly linking high-side-of-normal lead levels with increased risk of heart attack and stroke? http://www.webmd.com/news/20060918/l...evels-too-high
If this has been discussed before, I couldn't find it. They seem to be saying that people with some yet perfectly normal levels of lead (about 4 to 10) have significantly higher risk of heart and stroke death than those with very low (about 2 or less). What do you all think; flawed study or something to be concerned about?
The reason I found it was that I had mine checked. Five or six years ago when I last had it checked it was about 5, now it's around 50% higher. Still well within normal but the increase does concern me a little. The doctor wasn't concerned at all so I'm really not worried, but I am curious.
