So Beethoven *didn't* have lead poisoning. The only Samples of
Beethoven's hair that had been previously tested is the Hiller
lock, which is that of a Jewish woman. Of 17 locks of hair only
5 were deemed authentic and the others were of different people.

Now was Beethoven Black like some professors say or is more
testing needed?
