Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Logan, I would eat cilantro if it didn't make me sick. I'll take the fish mercury even if that statement is true. The easiest thing is don't eat that much fish. Got too much tyramine anyway. Here's an article you might agree with. But recoginize that Fins are that group which differs from the rest even though they eat fish. Too much dietary fat was the problem. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2005 Jan;25(1):228-33.

Mercury, fish oils, and risk of acute coronary events and cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and all-cause mortality in men in eastern Finland.Virtanen JK, Voutilainen S, Rissanen TH, Mursu J, Tuomainen TP, Korhonen MJ, Valkonen VP, Seppanen K, Laukkanen JA, Salonen JT.Research Institute of Public Health, University of Kuopio, PO Box 1627, 70211 Kuopio, Finland. jyrki.virtanen@...OBJECTIVE: Mercury has been suggested to have negative effects on cardiovascular health. We investigated the effects of high mercury content in hair on the risk of acute coronary events and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in men from eastern Finland. METHODS AND RESULTS: The population-based prospective Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD) cohort of 1871 Finnish men aged 42 to 60 years and free of previous coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke at baseline was used. During an average follow-up time of 13.9 years, 282 acute coronary events and 132 cardiovascular disease (CVD), 91 CHD, and 525 all-cause deaths occurred. Men in the highest third of hair mercury content (>2.03 microg/g) had an adjusted 1.60-fold (95% CI, 1.24 to 2.06) risk of acute coronary event, 1.68-fold (95% CI, 1.15 to 2.44) risk of CVD, 1.56-fold (95% CI, 0.99 to 2.46) risk of CHD, and 1.38-fold (95% CI, 1.15 to 1.66) risk of any death compared with men in the lower two thirds. High mercury content in hair also attenuated the protective effects of high-serum docosahexaenoic acid plus docosapentaenoic acid concentration. CONCLUSIONS: High content of mercury in hair may be a risk factor for acute coronary events and CVD, CHD, and all-cause mortality in middle-aged eastern Finnish men. Mercury may also attenuate the protective effects of fish on cardiovascular health.PMID: 15539625 Circulation. 1995 Feb 1;91(3):645-55 CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that a high intake of mercury from nonfatty freshwater fish and the consequent accumulation of mercury in the body are associated with an excess risk of AMI as well as death from CHD, CVD, and any cause in Eastern Finnish men and this increased risk may be due to the promotion of lipid peroxidation by mercury. PMID: 7828289 I'd like to see a ref that cilantro removes Hg compounds from a human system. Like testing of hair, nails etc, before and after treatment.

So you could mix up tuna salad made with cilantro andgrapeseed oil, top off seafood with the Cilantro Pestorecipe, etc..See PMID: 15721537, PMID: 8686573 and PMID: 8914687.Logan> I found this link useful as it looks at your weight> and fish > consumption to see if your body mercury levels will> be within safe > limits.
