@ytMarkcg I agree. Most of the lecture was based on initial research and not peer reviewed yet. The journals he quotes however are reputable so what he states should be taken seriously ... but not accepted as 100% fact. The studies in these journals are seldom wrong though so its best to stay on the side of caution. Just my opinion (check the journals out for yourself - most of the studies are easily accessed with a search engine).

@datzfast It doesn't. Its just that heavy metals become more concentrated as you move up the food chain (the bodies of the top eaters don't excrete heavy metals like lead, mercury or arsenic or chemicals like dioxin very well). So you find top chain fish like tuna, salmon and shark meat are the worst offenders. Fish that eat plants have far less and the plants those fish eat, the least. So algae etc, isn't dioxin free. Its just that the concentration is very low.

I am not impressed....very short range model of nutritional food groups and a lack of distinction between organic, CAFO, etc...This lecture is not for the thinking man...this is a dumbed down approach to the study of nutrition....If you don't know the right questions to ask you will not get the right answers....just this side of a waste of time...his delivery style is bobmbastic and very distracting from the information that he is trying to convey...
