The dementia discussion still made me wonder about the health of the Romans since they used a lot of lead:

The potential for lead was mentioned in the article, so the authors were aware of it.
I completely read past that. Not uncommon for me.
This guy asks if there's a relationship between dementia and lead poisoning in the US.

I wonder about all the people taking statins too.
I don't know that much about lead poisoning, but I have often wondered about the widespread statin us and increased levels of Alzheimer's.
Isn't there also an issue with PPIs for gastric reflux?
The hardness of the water would make a big difference there as it can provide a calcium salt coating of the lead.
I didn't know that. And I have no clue as to the hardness of the water in ancient Greece or Rome. Would be nice to know.
