Mercury
Levels and Neurological Conditions
At our January
2001 meeting, Dr. Kane talked about the need to avoid purchasing supplements
that come from areas where fish are contaminated due to mercury poisoning.
She also warned against having your child consume too much tuna fish
for the same reason. However, we do need the healthy fish oils, and
many of our waters are polluted with mercury, levels of which increase
with the waters containing larger predatory fish, since they eat the
smaller fish, who eat the smaller fish, etc.
Below is information from a 20/20 TV segment, during which medical
(and other) authorities spoke about the issue of mercury poisoning and
the link between mercury poisoning and neurological conditions, including
language.
I would like to thank Dr. Kane for raising awareness about this at our
meeting and thank 20/20 for raising awareness to the world, and possibly
making it a safer place for the babies of the future.
