SC - lead vs. salt use

[Olwen the Odd]

Hi all.  I was just having a talk with someone I work with who gave me food 
for thought.  She and I were talking about historical cooking and then lead 
poisoning and how there is a direct corralation to the increase in salt use 
as a result of lead poisoning.  She was saying that basically this could be 
traced back to the fall of the Roman empire.

Now, I musts admit here, I am a very gullible person.  My household takes 
great mirth in it.  But I wanted to throw this out to the list and see what 
you say.
