Re: Lead In Water..The Harm It Can Cause
7/15/2008 11:49:36 AM

Hi Len,

There was a blurb on AOL this morning about lead in several top brands of lipsticks.

Lead molecules are larger than the molecules of most other contaminants, so never let your kids or grandkids eat anything that has fallen on the floor.  THERE IS NO "FIVE SECOND RULE"!  Anything food has been on the floor for even a moment can have lead molecules stuck to it, tracked in the house on the bottom of our shoes, also road pollution, lawn chemicals, anything that has been on the ground outside, dead animal germs, bird droppings, any kind of animal waste, you name it!

I made some mistakes there, in a hurry!  Any food that has been on the floor...!

It's a good idea for everyone to take their shoes off immediately when they enter the house,  not only because of tracking in dirt and contaminants, but it will also keep your carpets looking good longer.  Shoe soles and dirt will really wear down your carpets.

Hi John,

Thanks for posting! Yes that has been a problem lead in paint and still is. 
But the lead gets in the water from your water pipes in the your home.
Water sits in the pipes and the lead leetches into the water. Lead is used to seal water pipe joints.

Have a great week,
Len

Hi Kathleen,
Good tip not to eat off the floor. That has been something I have made a practice not to eat off the floor. I don't know about lead in lipstick, but I am not surprised. Watch out for the toys that come from china also the paint they use on the toys they have found lead in it. And are being sent back...I am sure you heard about that.    
Drinking tap water that has harmful chemicals in it isn't a good idea either. :)

Enjoy the nice summer weather in Michigan!
Went to a Whitecaps game last night great fun!

Blessings,
Len
