Lead Limited Brain and Language Development in Neanderthals and Other Hominids?

Conceivable. And not just that far back. It's been thought that Beethoven's deafness was largely the result of the way wine was stored back in the 18th century.

And what did we learn from history? "The federal government banned the use of leaded pipe and solder in new plumbing systems in 1986, but many remaining pipe networks in older cities and homes predate the policy; the EPA estimates there are still 6 to 10 million lead service lines across the country." - https://greenyplace.com/when-did-they-stop-using-lead-pipes-...

What, did they have a lead contamination issue?

A report recently came out that found lead in nearly every brand of protein powder, especially plant-based ones.

It seems to be from lead naturally occurring in the soil where crops are grown. There is a similar problem with arsenic in rice.

I really wanted to like Huel. I like the idea of their meals, like chilli, but I didn't like it. Their Soylent type drink wasn't good either. Soylent 1.5 was the best.
