My mother-earth sister, who is into all things green and
environmentally
conscious, recently commented that I should not compost news print
and other
printed paper, because of the lead in the ink.

What lead?

OK, so she's talking rubbish and her ink knowledge is 20 years out of date.
But would any environmentally conscious composter here have any reservation
on composting printed paper/newsprint for other reasons? Are the inks or
treatments incurred by the paper in any way toxic?
