Chemical analysis can detect picogram levels of contaminants.  We're exposed to toxins in everything we eat, most naturally occurring, but at extremely low levels.  The research to establish threshold level effects of the various toxins hasn't kept up.

The mercury in tuna was shown to be partially composed of elemental mercury that is naturally occurring while the methylated mercury, a contaminant that is known to be biologically active, appeared at slightly lower levels than previously thought.  Sounds different when it is presented that way, doesn't it?  While it doesn't mean you can eat all the tuna you want, it also doesn't mean you can't eat any.

Removing your amalgam fillings will very likely expose you to more mercury than leaving them in place.

Here's a video about how the mercury standards got changed:

Here's a document written by an FDA subcommittee stating how the FDA is incapable of protecting citizens:

And here's one just for fun --> the FDA relationship to drug companies:

Here's a video showing how ANOTHER mercury standard was changed...

...destroyed, in fact.

..Which suggests that Mercury is actually BETTER than some of the alternatives.

while I am not a big fan of the FDA , here's a little food for thought ;

when it comes to testing for impurities in fish , at least one common method used is a bit misleading ...... they will take an entire fish , grind it up and do analysis from there . this of course includes many parts of the fish's anatomy that are not consumed by humans ( generally speaking ) including the area where mercury buildup most commonly happens ..... in the guts ( don't eat fish guts ! ) .
