  You know what’s good at removing lead from the body? Fiber.

    There are a number of studies that talk about fiver intake, it’s relationship with consumed lead, and how that helps those conditions, like this one, which talks about the gut biome and how fiber helps you excrete lead. None of them are specifically saying “eat fiber poop lead,” but they say “eating fiber and pooping lead” fixes X, Y, Z. I’m too lazy to do Z, I’m on my phone.

    I just thought about it one night, and it kind of just felt logical. Fiber says don’t take it within X time of consuming medication, because it can affect the uptake, and I was like, hmm, it’s gotta be more than just medication uptake, it’s probably anything uptake. I’m not sure if it’s anything, per se, but I think you get what I mean.

    There’re quite a few studies linking increased dietary fiber to reduced lead levels.
