About 170,000 UK children are exposed to clinically significant levels of lead. Only about 250 of them will receive any intervention to reduce that exposure. Six MPs and a Lord have signed an open letter suggesting we change that: ft.com/content/ee6039…

I’ve signed an open letter calling on the Government to introduce routine lead screening for all children. Over the past year, I’ve been raising concerns about lead contamination in the environment and food chain, including writing to expert bodies for more information and asking Ministers for updates on risks from historic lead mines. Lead screening is a simple step that could make a huge difference. #LeadScreening

We cannot wait for another tragedy before the Government takes meaningful action on lead exposure and poisoning. Many might think of lead poisoning as a problem of the past. But that simply isn’t true.🧵

The head of England’s drinking water watchdog has called for domestic fittings to be tested for lead as a mandatory part of homebuyers’ reports, after a @FinancialTimes investigation revealed millions of people may be unknowingly exposed to the toxic metal. as.ft.com/r/56e04bf8-f5f…

High blood pressure is killing millions every year. Big Pharma made you believe you need expensive powders & pills... Yet, BEETROOT delivers the same nitrates for $2/lb at any store. Here's how to use it without wasting money (+4 insane benefits): 👇 First, what is beetroot? Beetroot is a nutrient-rich root vegetable packed with natural nitrates. If you have high blood pressure, you better stay 'til the end, because beetroot: • Lowers blood pressure • Supports heart heath • Improves circulation How does it work? Your body converts nitrates (NO₃⁻) → nitrites (NO₂⁻) → Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide is called the "longevity" molecule, & your body produces it naturally. But by age 25-30 it starts declining... & that's one of the main reasons everyone needs to take beetroot. Let's jump into its insane benefits: 1. Lowers blood pressure Its natural nitrates relax & widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Now, you have lower pressure & less strain on your heart. This supplement supports blood pressure, heart health, & boosts Nitric Oxide production. It's a game-changer (especially if you're over 30): 👇 lvnta.com/lv_tgRzIMQOo7D… 2. Heart health Beetroot increases oxygen efficiency during physical activity. Athletes use it to boost stamina. It's elite athlete's secret to boost stamina. But for everyday people, it supports a stronger heart and longer walks without fatigue. 3. Brain and Aging Support Better circulation = better brain function Beetroot helps get more oxygen to your brain, improving focus, memory, and potentially slowing cognitive decline as you age. 4. Anti-Inflammatory effects Beetroot is rich in betalains—natural pigments with powerful anti-inflammatory effects: • Helping your liver detox • Reducing chronic inflammation • Protecting cells from oxidative stress Now, here's how to use it: 1) Take it before exercise or walk 2) Avoid roasted or canned forms—they lose much of the active compound 3) Grate it into salads, blend into smoothies, or juice And before you scroll... Most people underestimate the power of spices. But if used properly they have the most antioxidant effects. That's why I've curated a list with 5 of the MOST POWERFUL spices sold on grocery stores. Comment “List” and I’ll send it over.

During International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, we’re highlighting common sources of lead in the home, such as pipes, soil, imported foods & traditional remedies. Those at most risk are toddlers, children with pica & pregnant women. #ILPPW2025 gov.uk/government/pub…

Is there a name for the bias that organisations focus too much on treating symptoms and not enough on prevention?
