Mercury Contamination in Fish
The podcast discusses the impact of mercury in seafood, highlighting the conflict between trace minerals and mercury in fish. Mercury, an industrialized toxin, disrupts and alters electrical frequencies, causing harm in the body. Fish contain both trace minerals and toxic heavy metals like mercury, which clash and cannot work together. As a result, the majority of toxic heavy metals end up in the oil and fat of the fish, leading to concerns about nutrient deficiency in fish oil.
