According to SN, the fruit itself doesn't take up the lead into the tissues. So as long as you washed it well in filtered water, and used a stainless steel juicer (wouldn't expect to find lead in any consumer retail machinery anyway, but hey, maybe it was made in China,) and drank it out of a glass that hadn't been decorated with lead paint... then there should be none.

Why did I become moster?

yes, I read SN, but I wonder because.... seems to me that the theory and the practice of lead-free food production are not necessarily the same thing. Is it actually that "easy", or is there too much lead on and in everything and you'd need to do it in a vaccuum sealed environment with super-duper air filters etc?
