Dr. Gregor, my understanding is that there were different amounts in different samples, and that any level of mercury is harmful to ingest. The amounts are in the report, which I link to in the post, and if you wanted to dig into the comment section at the Huffington Post, where I cross-posted this piece, a few people have done the math there. What's significant to me is that these corporations willfully have used mercury in the production of their product for years when there are alternative production methods without it.

It is an element found in nature. All sorts of things have extremely small amounts of mercury. The question is whether the amount is significant, but you say nothing about that.

That said, I am passing along this information to friends, including posting it on Facebook, AND passing it along to some of the Air America Radio folk. Thanks for posting it! Peace hugs!
