You and idiot Doug, seem to think that you can make up people's mind for
them.

Idiot schmidiot. I in no way suggested otherwise with my post, but only
elaborated the points you quoted & provided further citations for the
stiff FDA warnings. So you're just an oversensitive splash of old man
sputum.

Mercury Is Everywhere


Mercury occurs naturally in the environment. According to FDA
toxicologist
Mike Bolger, Ph.D., approximately 2,700 to 6,000 tons of mercury are
released annually into the atmosphere naturally by degassing from the
Earth's crust and oceans. Another 2,000 to 3,000 tons are released
annually into the atmosphere by human activities, primarily from
burning
household and industrial wastes, and especially from fossil fuels
such as
coal.

The website you point to asks if mercury in fish is cause for concern.
The
answer is a resounding yes.

Besides the warnings on the page you cite, against eating more than 12
ounces of fish per week, here's another FDA-generated warning:
