Hi Carolyn,

Just read your latest article. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Another major source of mercury is thimerosal, which was/is used as a preservative in vaccines: [url=BellaOnline ALERT: For anti-spam reasons, we restrict the number of URLs allowed in a given post. You have exceeded our maximum number of URLs.

I've read that it's better to eat Alaskan salmon (as opposed to Atlantic), which is harder to find. It evidently is much less likely to be contaminated.

I wonder how serious these warnings are. One of my staple foods is Tunafish --Solid White Albacore in Water. I eat it all the time and it's my main source of protein, although now they're saying not to do it. Especially when you're pregnant. But they come out with these studies all the time...what do you think?

I think you should take the warnings seriously!
Mercury is now in the air we breathe, our drinking water and our food, not to mention vaccines and some dental fillings.

Being forewarned is wonderful. Now you can take action. You don't have to quit eating tuna, just switch to the chunk style and no albacore. For more ideas, read my article on the Bella web site by clicking on http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art25162.asp

BTW, I just had my first taste of tilapia. I found it at the grocery store and it is a wonderfully tasting fish and low in contaminants, including mercury. Try it with a little olive oil, garlic, turmeric, basil, thyme, and whatever other spices you like. My grocer says he can't keep it on the shelves people like it so much.

To healthy eating!

Carolyn

WOW, our world is crumbling...
Sooo, it is not safe to consume tuna in large quantities, or should tuna be avoided period? Hmmm, I will read article in previous post.

I just read the mercury article. I was not aware of the connection with mercury and dermatitis. I have had eczema for over 40 years and bad teeth run in my family. I got dentures at 35. Prior to that I begged another Dentist from the age of 25 to get them since I was tired of all the work I had done.

At the age of 13 I had 36 cavities, first time I had ever been to a Dentist - chipped my front teeth in a phone scuffle with a girl over a boy on the other end. As punishment my Mother made me wait 6 months to get the front tooth fixed.

Both my children have autism - I feel it is hereditary. The father has paranoid schizophrenia, my sister was born with a brain tumor, my brother had spinal meningitis as a baby, my mother had toxemia when I was born, I was 3 pounds in an incubator for 6 weeks and my grandmother and her sister both died of Alzheimers.

I need to get my younger son to a dentist at age 9 - but he would have to be put to sleep. I should do a search on the site for dental information and see what, if anything, is listed.

Sorry for going off topic in this thread. The article got me thinking, which is a good thing.

A natural chelator is cilantro. Eating cilatro dialy disminushed the poison heavy metals of the body. That includes mercury and smog.

Choose alternative refills for your cavities.

Actually the biggest problem with salmon and mercury comes from the fact that most of the salmon we eat in the US comes from salmon farms. Wild salmon is far less likely to be contaminated and here's why:

Salmon farms sell the salmon to a processing plant which takes the usable parts of the fish and then sells the unusable parts back to the farmer (or another processing plant) who then turns the leftover scraps into salmon food. So you get ever-increasing concentrations of mercury in farmed fish.

I would probably avoid large fish if I were pregnant but otherwise, I'd make sure I was eating wild-caught fish and I'd not worry about it.

As for the autism/vaccine issue, I don't buy it. I've researched this extensively and I find it far more likely that it's coincidence. Look at the northern European countries that have taken mercury out of their vaccines. Their autism rates haven't dropped one bit.
