Mercury is not bad for you in small amounts. Mercury poisoning occurs with large amounts of mercury. Certainly not in trace amounts found in fish even if you consume lots of fish. It's all bogus.

I'm not sure about mercury, but the saying mad as a hatter comes from mercury poisoning, so it stands to reason.Originally posted by MrB8 View Post
I know aluminium is supposed to be linked to Alzheimer's disease, that's why I tend to avoid orange juice from concentrate, they ship it in aluminium containers I believe and since OJ is acidic, I think in it's concentrated form it's even more so and will probably react with it's shipping container.
I could just be paranoid though

Environmentalists have done some good things for our environment. They have long since worn out their welcome and have become obstructionists to anything that doesnt' fit their ideology.Comment

Mulkey the reason the mercury is high in tea and wine is some places use mercury gas to kill bacteria. Kill. Mercury is not ok I promise. I even share your conspiracy theories, or some of them, but mercury is bad period.ALL THE WAY WITH GOOD OLE JAY!Comment

I think the aluminum is anodized. If it is the acid probably wont react.Comment

You are correct about aluminum Burty, from what I read, it is linked to alzheimer's and also prevents your body from absorbing minerals and vitamins from food as it binds to them while cooking to create foreign elements that the body exerts sort of like phytates but actually harmful.A real man never hurts a woman.

Wishful, read the article, there are many other foods that contain mercury. Mercury in fish makes up a small percentage of the total mercury we get from all foods. If they are spraying it on your tea to kill bacteria where are the special interests? My point is that special interests have basically brainwashed everyone bc they dont' want the poor fish to be killed. They have a huge amount of money behind them and they are able to lobby against fishing using mercury poisoning as a tool. Government says it's harmful bc lobbiest told them so. Universities teach that it is harmful bc government said it is. There you have it. An entire country that is indoctrinated into believing that eating fish is bad for you.Comment

No way, damn, I need to stop cooking with aluminium foil so!Comment

Our bodies need aluminum but it can be toxic in large quantities if the body cant' pass it. Normally it is carried by the bloodstream to the kidneys and discharged. For someone with healthy kidneys I dont' think there is any health hazard. It doesn't accumulate.Comment

If the aluminum containers are anodized it won't react to acid. Soda pop cans are anodized otherwise the acid would react with them. I'm sure that any container used for acidic food or drink would be anodized. Even salt won't touch it.Comment

Yes, same with plastics and Styrofoam. If you microwave stuff use glass/china or ceramic containers, and avoid plastic wrap.Originally posted by kickinthemebs View PostA real man never hurts a woman.
