Reply to comment by DavetheHick in Eli5 why was lead added to so many products before it was discovered to be toxic? by thhbeard

Lead was used by Romans because it was available and easy to work with. It was added to many of our products AFTER it was already known to be dangerous in order to make some people richer. Not an agenda. A fact.
