Childhood Lead Poisoning Leads to Life of Violent Crime
It is common knowledge that lead is bad for our health, and our government is trying to protect our children from lead poisoning through the Consumer Product Safety Information Act, however misguided this legislation is.
New research from the University of Cincinnati concludes that kids exposed to lead are more likely to become violent criminals as adults.
Scientists studied 250 children that were exposed to lead in utero and found the adults who had the highest levels of lead in their blood as children had the highest arrest rates as adults. “These findings provide strong evidence that early lead exposure is a risk factor for criminal behavior, including violent crime.”
