You might want to study up on the subject of mercury poisoning. The human body (liver) does not process mercury at all so it remains in the body forever. The tiny doses accumulate over time causing cancer, kidney failure, liver failure, and brain damage. It might take a few years but you are just as dead. Higher doses just kill you faster, like the thousands of Japanese who died recently from just one meal of salt-water fish caught in an industrial harbor. I live on Lake Superior. I can catch all the fish I can eat. Trouble is, the DNR forbids anyone from eating them. My favorite fresh water fish is the walleye. Walleye from the Great lakes are not allowed to be served in any restaurant. So we have to import them from Alberta! I'm a Viet Nam veteran so I have first had experience with dioxin (agent orange). You might want to research that subject before you form another erroneous conclusion. DOW has admitted in court that it is one of the most poisonous substances on earth and also one of the most persistent in the environment. 40 years after it was used in Viet Nam, many Vietnamese are still dying from it via food grown on the permanently contaminated soil.
