201. I rarely eat fish, been through too much to add more mercury
I rarely eat fish as I have been through too much to chance it. I try to stay away from the large predator fish, especially. I suppose you think that all the talk about fish being high in mercury is bunk too. It would figure, considering your position on mercury amalgam fillings.

If you do nothing else, please watch the following video. Enlightening, to say the least. The ADA, in person, in their own words, before congress, stating that of course they know mercury is toxic, yes the vapors leach out of our teeth, yes we ingest it into our bodies, and yes it is cumulative. The FDA is just not in the business of assessing the damage a substance does to living beings. They are in the business of assessing how a substance is used, period. THeir words, not mine.

So, even though the FDA knows it is toxic to use in filling teeth, it isn't up to them to stop its use. Go figure that one out and justify it, if you can.

I wouldn't brag about being a scientist these days. Until scientists can raise themselves above being paid hacks for huge greedy corporations or corrupt government agencies that are fronts for huge greedy corporations, their credibility will remain questionable. It all comes down to money, power, and influence. Who has the most of it. Who wants to spend it to prove a point. Who has the most to gain. Who has the most money to spend to override and deride common sense in order to keep public ignorance the status quo.
