There’s no such thing as a ‘safe level’ of lead in the body.

I’ve been racking my brains for weeks trying to come up with a good healthy salad for a family holiday celebration. If your family is like mine, they toss out every health habit they’ve held dear all year long and go bonkers for carbohydrates, meat proteins and fat.
