Lead? Can someone explain the lead warning?

Rice commonly carries traces of arsenic from the soil below the water where it is grown. That is why washing the rice before cooking it is recommended. We bottled and sold water from our spring for many years; it was tested annually by an outside lab for radioactive elements as well as arsenic, lead and other metals. My great-grandmother drank this spring water all her life and lived to the age of 103. Soil and rock either carry or produce many elements one does not wish to ingest in large quantity; trace elements are a different matter. Many medicines have analogues in nature. Consider the fact that aspirin was developed pharmacologically by chemically reproducing the powdered willow tree bark native Americans used medicinally. Do wines produced in the Modena region - which is famous for balsamic vinegars - also carry trace elements of lead? My guess would be ‘yes.’ I will certainly continue to use balsamic vinegars, reductions and glazes, myself. CCS, 8/13/22
