Explanation: The Romans boiled down wine in lead pots to make sweetener, because the lead made it even sweeter. Not because they didn’t know that lead was bad - they understood it full well, and even associated certain forms of lead poisoning with lead cosmetics.
But sweetener? Just a little tasty sweetener on your bread and in your wine? What could go wrong!
