Effects of cola beverage on concentrations of Pb in blood (above) and urine (below) samples of swine (a–d) following ingestion of Pb-contaminated Soil 1 (11,600 ± 844 mg kg−1 Pb) and Soil 3 (22,030 ± 817 mg kg−1 Pb), showing significant reduction in Pb levels in swine blood and urine with cola beverage treatment. Data were represented as mean ± S.D. The concentration of Pb in the blood collected from 8−10-week-old Danish Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc cross-breed swine (n  =  4 per group), mean ± S.D, one-way ANOVA (p-value is shown in Table S4) with Bonferroni test. *P  <  0.05, **P  <  0.01. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
