This seems like a meaningless data point. Avoiding pork and shellfish has been highly recommended in Jewish writing for millennia. Sometimes for good reasons (e.g. food spoilage and parasites) that have no basis in 21st century reality.

2000 years, 4000 years… humans make up things and as long as they’re not visibly and instantly harmful they persist. If it turns out matzah ball soup prevents Alzheimer’s then millions of Jewish mothers will say “see! Our people knew it all along”, but it would be pure coincidence.
Funny this was the other discussion it being contaminated. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38139011 Wikipedia suggests its toxify is overblown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_chromate >Despite containing both lead and hexavalent chromium, lead chromate is not particularly toxic because of its very low solubility.
