"When environmental lead finds its way into the developing brain, it disturbs neural mechanisms responsible for regulation of impulse. That can lead to antisocial and criminal behavior," said Dr. Herbert Needleman, a professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. FULL STORY EDITORS NOTE: Some scientific theory over the years believes that the fall of the Roman Empire was due in part because of lead leaching into their diet from the raw pottery widely used as food vessels.
