Fascinating discussion. Particularly concerning correlation between heavy metals and future criminality. I recall listening to an NPR program years back...either RadioLab or Freakanomics. The host discussed how medical researchers had investigated the precipitous drop in crime in NYC...in the 90's...that was usually attributed to Rudy Giuliani (mayor)/Bill Bratton (police chief) and their 'Broken Windows'/stop-and-frisk policing that targeted young men in poor neighborhoods. Instead, these researches found that the drop in violent crimes correlated exactly with the abatement/elimination of lead containing interior paint used in NYCHA (public housing/"the projects"...in NYC).
