For those suffering from lead or other heavy metal poisoning, a protective diet that avoids processed foods and emphasizes the central components of a nutrient - dense and
antioxidant - rich WAPF - style diet is essential (see sidebar).21 Nutritional
status shapes susceptibility to lead toxicity in important ways, affecting lead's intestinal absorption; its mobilization, distribution and retention in the body; and excretion.22 Because oxidative stress is a likely mechanism explaining some of lead's toxic actions, some investigators have begun to explore whether natural
antioxidants and trace minerals may help mitigate lead - induced cell damage.17 Specifically, researchers in Spain found that administration of vitamins A, B6, C and E along with zinc modulated some of the negative effects of lead exposure in rat pups, confirming the influence of nutritional factors
on health outcomes following lead exposure.17 Vitamin D also should be a major component of a protective diet.

on nutritional
status (and therefore neurotransmission and neuropeptide production), direct production of GABA, and other bioactive chemicals, as well as a direct role in gut - to - brain communication via a beneficial shift in the intestinal microbiota itself.»
