Metal in muscle tissue, body fat and brain Re: Meaning of high mercury in blood

[Guest guest]

Not either, but I used to think that it was fat where mercury

was stored since we find a lot in the brain, but it's attracted to

sulphur which is found primarily in proteins or in the case of a

human body, muscles. I forget what proteins in the brain it's

attracted to, but it's also found in hair as hair is made of

protein. Perhaps it's brain myelin as it's 20% protein.

So if one were to exercise it's most likely coming from the breakdown

of muscle tissue. In fact this is how a muscle grows. You exercise,

this breaks down the muscle, then it grows back stronger.

So I would expect someone with more muscle tissue to have mercury

stored in the muscle tissue.
