Mystery of fish mercury levels solved - Hawaii News

[CMK]

Nobody ever got sick from mercury poisoning from eating fish.

Treatment for mercury toxicity is selenium chelation.

Minamata disease came out of an industrial waste pipe.

It's not high mercury or high selenium, it's the ratio of mercury to selenium at a molecular level that is important. One to one ratio=zero toxicity.

I'm glad I got a lot of fish when my brain was developing.

Is that what happened?

Doesn't fish like Bigeye tuna and Swordfish have higher fat content compared to Yellowfin tuna and Mahimahi? If so, then I would expect to see more methyl mercury accumulating in the fatty tissues of these "deepwater" feeding fishes. Besides, both bigeye tuna and swordfish are known to move up and down the water column as they feed (as does yellowfin tuna).

Something not quite right with that study.

Listen my children, mercury is the least of your worries right now....

To get the mercury out, cut off the tail and hang the fish in the freezer. When it gets real cold, the mercury drops and falls out.

Its the compounds that are just as lethal. Like many things, the young show signs of the bio-concentration as higher order predators do.

Neuro-disabilities from real poisons are insidious and can shorten lifetimes.

Don't fool yourself; cinnabar products were touted and sold. Madness was one of the symptoms.

Wow local-you need to really calm down! I live in the real world where do you exist? Are you angry because I hit your last good nerve? Are you claiming that all "official reports" should be like a bible? Not me-within my lifetime I've witnessed too many of those fake stuff-expecting we the people to take them at their word. In the past, most of the people had the trust in the judgments that were made. If you're one of those that chose to reject the facts and "dream" your own facts then you really need to stop eating fish!
Merc-I absolutley can agree that it is a combination of nature and man that is the issue. Nature is very powerful and man "assumes" to think he can control it. And yes, nature presents hazardous stuff-some of it we could survive, some, is fatal. Can we agree that man ADDING CONTINUOUSLY to the mix with what nature gives us is maybe controlable? It appears to me that it is the people/companys that violate laws/common sense ususally have the $$$$ written all over it? What kind of price tag would you place on having clean air or uncontaminated food? Betcha those people/companys know! They will get us from both angles-gotta watch that. Aloha

Although it is true that many toxins are found in the fatty tissues of animals, organic mercury is not – it is a common mistake made by many. Organic mercury binds with sulfur-containing amino acids that make up protein. Mercury in fish is in the muscle and not the fat. Something not quite right with your logic brah.
