Heavy metals go untested in Gulf seafood

Here's another article which makes that CBS "NEWS" piece seem disingenuous ... as it only mentioned fish being tested for oil ... but 1st dispersants are not being tested (see previous 2 posts) ... & now no heavy metal testing in the fish CNN just proclaimed "safe to eat" live on the air less than 30 minutes ago ...

Something here smells fishy !! (sorry, couldn't resist)



Experts urge caution for pregnant women and young children

Despite claims from President Barack Obama and federal officials that Gulf seafood is safe and poses no long-term health risks, no testing for heavy metals is occurring in fish or shellfish in areas that have been reopened to commercial and recreational fishing.

Both National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and FDA officials told Raw Story that fish and shellfish being tested for the purpose of reopening waters to commercial and recreational fishing are not being tested for heavy metals.
