Original Note:
This unproven claim is making its rounds again. No, cilantro has not been proven to remove lead or other heavy metals. However, some mice were given cilantro laden water and it prevented lead absorption in mice in lab studies, but has not been proven to remove metals. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/01/26/fact-check-unproven-claim-cilantro-removes-heavy-metal-brain/9087530002/
