This is a pretty useless thing to add, as there is no good amount of it, there is a VERY bad amount of it, which nearly every person in the world born before around 1990 suffered from. Kids aren’t born chalk-full of lead anymore, despite being born with a non-zero amount, which will realistically never change.
