The same reasoning, from the same prior, suggests that lead poisoning probably also doesn't exist. After all, the Romans made water pipes out of the stuff, and look how well they did.

Roman water pipes ended up covered in (substance I don't recall the name of), and so not much lead leeched into the water. Water jugs made of lead were probably more of a problem.
The same holds true for modern lead pipes. They work fine, until they don't.
