Lead on your lips

It’s true that lead, cadmium and other heavy metals are bad. What these articles usually fail to point out is that there are trace quantities of just about everything in just about everything.

Worried that there’s 1 ppm of lead in your lipstick? Asparagus has 30 ppm of lead. Tomatoes, 60 ppm. Apples, 64 ppm.
