so today i want to talk about a very interesting  topic the lead in nutritional supplements now there’s a california regulation called prop 65. it’s known as the safe drinking water in toxic enforcement act of 1986. so it was probably a  really good idea when they started it 25 years ago but now it’s kind of gotten out of hand because  now it involves over 900 different chemicals and so this bypasses the fda and they have their own  guidelines or thresholds that you can’t go over in certain chemicals and heavy metals etc and so  certain companies are forced to put warning labels on their products so the labels say something  like ingestion of this product is known to californians to cause potential cancers  or reproductive harm now what’s really fascinating to me about this prop 65 is that  let’s just take lead for example the fda allows 12 micrograms of lead to be consumed per day  if you’re an adult if you’re a child it’s three micrograms but if you’re in california  because of this prop 65 the threshold is 0. 5 as far as creating some reproductive toxicity  so the fda allows 12 micrograms per day and prop 65 allows 0. 5 micrograms per day as far as their  limit now it’s almost impossible to differentiate the naturally occurring lead that comes from  the soil versus lead that comes from pollution so anything grown in the soil is bound to have  a certain amount of lead in it just because we live on the earth and the earth is made up of  elements and lead is one of the elements now there’s a couple very interesting things on how  these numbers were set number one they used animal studies okay i mean animals are similar to humans  but they’re not identical so that’s one variable right there that it’s very difficult to equate  what’s happening to an animal to humans all right number two they measured the quantity of exposure  of a given element like lead that will result in an observational effect now first of all what is  an observational effect this is what they use as statistically significant increase in risk of  either cancer or reproductive harm but this next point is quite mind-blowing to me check this out  they then take this number whatever it is certain amount of lead that creates this observational  effect and they set the threshold at 1 1000th of that number so for example if they  found some effect that was created at 49 milligrams of lead they would set the threshold  at 49 micrograms a thousand times less so to me these numbers don’t necessarily mean they’re  unsafe at all in fact what is said on the warning labels is what’s called misleading  speech and this is a legal term that means speech that is actually or inherently deceptive  such that an ordinary consumer would be misled by the statement why because it reports a false fact  now what’s false about this we’re using numbers that are a thousand times less than the actual  number that they found some observational effect so if someone sells a product that is food based  or a whole food type product they’re bound to be over this limit in fact if you actually just look  up the lead in certain vegetables actually it’s quite interesting potatoes have over 30 milligrams  of lead per kilogram radishes have just under 50 milligrams per kilogram and spinach  leaves have just under 60 milligrams per kilogram of lead cauliflower is just  under 70 milligrams per kilogram of lead so it’s fascinating how much lead is in our food  supply already that may be naturally occurring we don’t know it’s impossible to differentiate  the pollution from naturally occurring in the soil so anyway i just wanted to bring up this  very interesting topic on lead and let you know uh how these numbers were really created because  apparently it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s unsafe simply because the threshold is set up to be a  thousand times less than what they found so if you’re enjoying my content which i hope you are  and you’re applying this knowledge to your health and you have a success i’d really appreciate you  sharing your success story so click the link down below to my website where you can upload your  success story so you can help inspire others
