Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 That is a strong statement to make, that ALL Japanese are eating salmon EVERY day. The FDA has a web page on the effects of eating excess methyl mercury from fish, and it mentions two incidents in Japan that happened in the 1960s where over 100 people were poisoned. The FDA's limit for methyl mercury in fish is 1 ppm. The fish in these instances were mostly 9 to 24 ppm, with some being as high as 40 ppm. Check out http://www.fda.gov/fdac/reprints/mercury.html By far the most toxic source of mercury is amalgam fillings, because it is sealed into your tooth and will only continue to leak out into the body every day for years until it is depleted. Also the risk to an unborn child is very real, as methyl mercury crosses the placenta and can damage the baby's developing nervous system. A while back I posted regarding studies published that put Puget Sound fish being higher in pollutants than fish in other areas of the world.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 >> That is a strong statement to make, that ALL Japanese are eating salmon EVERY day. I meant generally. Maybe one day out of 20 somebody does not eat fish, but generally all my Japanese and Vietnamese friends are eating fish for dinner EVERY day. >> I have always been thin, it is a trait I inherited from my dad. There is no way, no matter how much I eat that I will get overweight. This is your body type, according to Ayurveda, you are Vata type. The link I already mentioned before: http://www.ayurveda-ayurvedic.com/ayurvedabook.html You can gain some weight if you stop aggravating your Vata dosha. I thought too I can't make my kid to gain weight regardless what he eats. But when we went to Hawaii in November, the weather was soooo nice, sunny, not hot, we were spending all days on a beach, playing, swimming, eating ripe sweet fruits. I was making him breakfast without hurry, and we had delicious dinner every evening. Believe me or not he gained some weight. But lost it soon, when we returned home to cold and rainy Seattle.
