Re: Sorta OT: fish - extending scd

[Guest guest]

the combination of mercury, arsenic and pop's with finned fish make

almost any resonably sized fish nutritionally negative, metals have

always been in sea fish but the pop's (persitent organic toxins) like

pcbs are new and have shifted the balance

all shellfish and crustaceans (like prawns) have very high arsenic

levels so i have almost stopped eating any seafood or fish entirely

its interesting how new research and experience is always poppng up

ways the btvc scd needs changing and elaine gottschall in her earlier

years would have been right on top of this

i am drawing up a list of extensions to scd on my web site

this my grizzle about posting and people not taking care to work

things out

generally the level of arsenic in chicken meat is not such a concern

the lower the better though, arsenic in chicken liver will be a

problem for some or most brands.

but shellfish is absolutely loaded with inorganic and organic arsenic

and contrary to popular scientific opinion, organic arsenic is still

highly toxic

fish three times a week will have been affecting you, especially

since mercury excretion drops way off with age
