I like how the AP writer tries valiantly to put a positive spin on this. It may well be that 100% of all fish in America has some level of mercury contamination, but only one fish in four has dangerously high levels.  Dude, we are so screwed…

WASHINGTON (AP) - No fish can escape mercury pollution. That’s the take-home message from a federal study of mercury contamination released Wednesday that tested fish from nearly 300 streams across the country.

The toxic substance was found in every fish sampled, a finding that underscores how widespread mercury pollution has become.

But while all fish had traces of contamination, only about a quarter had mercury levels exceeding what the Environmental Protection Agency says is safe for people eating average amounts of fish.

Terrible. Just terrible. I guess there is no going back, mercury tends to stick around for a long time.

Now it’s only a matter of time before <a href=“http://blog.operator-speaking.com/2008/09/03/toxic-fish-is-big-business/#comment-31”>Gavin Gibbons</a> pays a visit to your blog :D

indeed, this is unfortunate, but it’s not the end of the world. I chelate with DMSA, EDTA or other supplements with EVERY fish meal and recommend others do it too! http://www.vrp.com/ProductsSearch.aspx?k=DMSA

There are many other ways to get heavy metals in your body and *they never leave* unless you chelate.

The ignorance of the commenter?

Yes but what is the EPA-accepted level of mercury in fish beyond which poisoning is likely to occur? And just what are the average amounts that a person is likely to eat? Plus bear in mind that small children and pregnant women are the most vulnerable to mercury poisoning.

very nice write
