This was debunked in an article I saw recently, where it turned out that the data was cherrypicked pretty dramatically. Let me try and locate it.

It's pretty well established that lead was a factor, by multiple studies. I'm guessing it wasn't quite as sound a debunking as you remember?

The main problem with the study: it was only done in Western Europe and North America. It doesn't work when you try the idea on, say, Japan.
