Is seafood even safe?

Posted by linkadge on February 8, 2014, at 15:16:46

I'm hearing some mixed messages about pacific seafood (i.e. salmon). Is this stuff safe to eat or not? (i.e. with regards to the fukishima disaster).

I don't consider any fish "safe," but it's more due to mercury contamination than to the Fukishima worry (which I share). For me, I think the radiation thing may be part of my anxiety disorder, though I have a hard time telling anymore in our current world of weekly mega contamination disasters. I always tell whatever therapist I'm seeing that the world increasingly seems to accurately reflect my anxiety-disordered worries, and I simply cannot tell the difference.

Hmm, good question Link. Fish is basically not real safe no matter what as far as I'm concerned. I eat fish maybe once a month at the most, usually not that much.

Mercury is bad enough, even just tiny amounts, because some people have genetic flaws that result in accumulation rather than excretion. We don't know..."are you one of those people?" So I just play it safe.

Same with other stuff too though. I stick almost exclusively to organic anything, gluten free, and non-gmo corn. The levels of toxins and unintended consequences in our common foods is plenty bad enough as far as I am concerned, and then add in fish mercury and fish nuclear waste, ouch.

This is the end of the thread.
