The problem is the small pieces are the ones that make it to your gut. As for people eating lead for centuries. This is probably true, however I woukd like to know how you ascertained people haven't had their cognate ability reduced by doing so.
And I am far from the kind that has bubble kids. However, I don't see a reason to expose them to lead neadlessly when they are so young.
And the studies out there are largely inconclusive, but one thing they agree on is lead is found in processed game meat shot by lead bullets.
I wish it were not true, as I think mono metal bullets largely suck, but it is what it is.
