We’re going to focus on fishright now
because that’s the prime source of mercury in our diets.When coal is burned, inorganic mercury is launched into the air and eventually ends up in our lakes, rivers and oceans. There, germs mixes with it and transforms it into methylmercury which is quickly absorbed by fish (especially big or fatty fish ), and is also easily soaked up by us when we eat those fish.The excellent new is that our most recent research studies suggest that the human body naturally rids itself of mercury over time– assuming we stop ingesting it long enough for our body to do what it was made to do, and to help the process here’s a list of fish that naturally have a low, medium and high level of mercury: High mercury: Mercury levels differ from one species of fish to the next. Fish that are predatory(eat other fish )are big and at the top of the food chain, and so tend to include more mercury.
