Lead poisoning, also referred as plumbism, is one of the common environment-related concerns among children. It has significant long-term effects on the children's vital organ system, especially the developing brain. Families must be educated with the importance of identifying, modifying, and eliminating all possible sources of lead in the environment. It might also be helpful to teach them some dietary recommendations to prevent or minimize lead absorption in the body. A dietary fiber of at least 15 grams per day and a diet rich in calcium and iron reduce the risk for lead absorption. Foods rich in fat enhances absorption of lead in the body.
