Excellent news.
Nothing dumber than building nuclear reactors!
Tuna is one of the bad fish. I'd like to see a study looking at methyl-mercery exposure of the 'good fish' Salmon, Sardines etc.
Eat sardine because it has less mercury which isn't that harmful to the body
Im mostly plant based but I eat salmon from time to time. So did the Okinawans.
dental mercury for a doctor you need to do your homework
I find it ridiculous we don't have contamination testing for fish.
god I wish that were me
ok so Tuna is the worst of the bunch… but all of these fish swim in the same water and accumulate the same toxins. if all you do is cherry pick the fish you eat, you're just settling for a little less brain shrinkage.
Have fish always contained mercury? For example, before the industrial revolution?
little deceiving, should be titled Fish Consumption Associated With Brain Shrinkage IN NEWBORNS!
Why do you claim that methyl mercury is the most toxic? In fact, ethyl mercury is FIFTY TIMES MORE TOXIC.
Don't believe anything this quack says. Who are you working for Dr. Greger you piece of shit
Jeez this guys a fucking quack… The only brain shrinkage is among the idiots that listen to his bullshit
Tuna is a predatory higher tropic level fish. What about smaller fish?
Not good- typical scaremongering.
Vegans can be a bit like the 'sisters'.
'Every male is evil!'Â Â Â Â
'Meat is Evil'
'Only lentils are vegetables are good'Â Â
—— yet we're fat n ugly,      why??totally agree. fish is not suited for human consumption, may be once in a while combined with coconut like the islanders. otherwise if you consider human physiology, anatomy then fruitarian diet with greens and veg, nuts makes most sense.
Oh dear, him again!! Who is this bloke, guy if you are American. I have come to the conclusion that if I listened to everything he said I would starve. All things in moderation, but I don't eat bread or margarine, for some reason just stopped eating it 7 years ago. Listened to what my body was telling me.
all fish!!!! Â whar about fish oil
Let's begin to export as much canned tuna to maahslime countries as we possibly can, even if we do it at a loss.
I think this is getting absurd. The only message of all these videos by dr. Greger is: don't eat anything but fruits and vegetables. Poison everywhere. But what propels this tireless propaganda? The last human ancestor to do that kind of diet was, you know, Australopithecus. OK, everybody, quit your jobs and chew cucumbers all day. As you'll really need to chew all day like a panda.
I just had fish with quinoa and I feel like CRAP
I eat 99% plant based (plus occasional sushi). I don't completely doubt this study but if it is true, then what about the Japanese people who consume so much fish? The entire county would be so damaged. Must be something more to consider.Â
Mercury is like sugar compared to the radiation poisoning Fukushima is doing to the Pacific for the past 2+ years with no end in sight. 100% of the tuna tested was contaminated, the sardine industry is gone, none were caught this year. The star fish off CA lost all their arms and died.Infant deaths are also up sharply in CA. The meat and produce industry is also being contaminated. The jet stream carries it over and the rain, snow blankets the US in Radiation, animals eat the grass, farmers plant in the soil and doubled up with GMO and round up ready……
Not likely to be big problem with sardines or farm raised catfish. Of course populations that live off sear food don't appear to be composed of idiots.
Question:Â
I have taken your advise on giving up fish in favor of vegan DHA.
Now, on one hand i'm told the best source of DHA is fresh, cold pressed, refrigerated oil (e.g.flaxseed oil). On the other hand, i'm told recent study shows ALL oils are bad (for cardiovascular reasons). So my question is; should I still use the "higher quality" liquid oil, or go for the DHA powder capsules???
Thanks for the GREAT content. This is real public service!
People, this is a classic propaganda! He starts from the generalized statements that sound like revelant to all fish like "Fish consumption associated with brain shrinkage", cities words like "All fish contain SMALL amount of MeHg". But to "prove" his claims it he doesn't try to find a representative samples from all varieties of fish, but CHERRYPICKS one of the WORST CASES for mercury contamination – a large predatory fish high on a food chain – tuna, known to contain more mercury than other, smaller fish!
Ugh … scary … I'm assuming that a can of tuna compares proportionately with tuna from sushi??? Â Very scary.
Ottimo!
Yuck! My dad told me about this 45 years ago! Dad you were right. Thanks for scientifically proving it, Dr. Greger.
This is quite interesting. Just 1 can a week is too much. Is there anyway to find out the fish with the lowest mercury levels if people choose to consume fish but want to be below that level? I am vegan but for the people who do eat fish this may be research they need to conduct if they are concerned about this report.
Hmmm…. what does this mean for dental amalgams? If eating a can of tuna will cause such a condition then how about having a mouth full of amalgams 24/7?Â
This is enraging. Ignorance is pure evil.
When i am going to dine with someone for the first time, i usually have to tell them that i'm vegan.The most common response i get is an incredulous: "Well, do you eat FISH?" When i say no, they exclaim: But eating fish is SO GOOD FOR YOU! Of course they absolutely don't want to examine their cherished belief from my perspective, they are just so sure. Of course they heard it on Dr. OZ or that nutritionist on the Today show.
Interesting. I know a number of people who eat canned fish regularly. Glad I am not one of them. I would like to know more about the issue of heavy metal poisoning or contamination from eating sea weed and other sea vegetables as I eat a fair amount of sea weed.
id like links to the actual study in the description!!! đŸ™‚
Aquaponics System. We grow our own fish (Tilapia) and ZERO mercury. Stop buying store meat in a can or otherwise and grow your own food.
