Re: Re: Fw: Our testimony for Thursday on dangerous mercury levels in tuna and other fish

Kathy,

You are so right...I try not to think about it when I order food in restaurants! I used to work in them, so I know what goes on. I could not believe how many people would walk in to work off the street and start serving food without washing their hands! I was always washing mine, so I would just be dumbfounded when I saw people do things like smoke cigarettes outside and then come in and throw lettuce in a bowl for salad with their hands and not wash them. Yechh! Who knows where else they put their hands...I try not to eat out too much anymore for more reasons than the obvious.

-Dear vickiI think many fish, fresh or not, are mercury contaminated. Dr. Mercola only recommends a few fish as reasonably safe and even at that he maintains that people who eat fish regularly always have mercury levels when he tests them. He does recommend buying salmon--very very good for you---from Vitalchoice.com. Or you can order from his website. It is from alaska and has virtually undetectable mercury levels. I get their canned and frozen salmon and I am hooked on them. They also sell tuna and they try to insure it is as mercury free as possible.I also would question eating sushi 3 times a week. You can get sick from sushi if it is not very carefully handled and prepared. I will not risk this type of thing considering all the time and money I have put into trying to get well. When you think about the people who got sickened fwith hepatitus A from having onions improperly cleaned and prepared at a ChiChi's restaurant, I would prefer not to put my life into the hands of people who don't care about my health near as much as I do. In our city, restaurant inspections are published in the paper. You wouldn't believe how many receive scores of like 78 out of a 100 for poor cleanliness, improper temperature of foods, foods leaking on each other etc. These are supposedly high quality restaurants. But no matter how much a restaurant charges, their help is often underpaid and young and not as interested in hygiene as we are! Food for thought! Take caresmiles, kathy

kathy, thanks i'll look into that. i've been eating sushi three times a week for about 6 years now and have never gotten sick. maybe it's because i stick with the same resturant. I dont eat chicken even organic cuz i dont like the taste and have basiclly given up red meat, maybe i'll eat it twice a year and maybe on occasion lamb and duck so seafood is the main source of meat protein available to me and i cant imagine giving up fish! i guess i'll have dr kolb test my merucy levels and go from there. if they are okay, i'm sticking with my fish!
