Children’s nervous system and blood-brain barrier are not yet fully developed. Therefore, the lead element in their body is easily transferred to the brain.

Traditional preserved eggs are made with yellow pill powder . It contains lead oxide , which generates heat when it reacts with caustic soda and water to promote the maturation of preserved eggs.
But the lead element will also run into the preserved eggs, leading to excessive lead in the preserved eggs, which has an impact on human health.
