There are brands which are tested and contain far less lead - and only one product contained the high amount of lead cited.

When we refer to studies, it is important to report the results fairly and accurately.

"contain far less lead." It's still lead. How much have you been getting for years from using it regularly? Consumerlab is behind a paywall. If people don't want a subscription, how will they know which ones have the least lead? It's best to get a simple lead blood test to determine how much lead you have in your body then make an informed decision.
