or just we we can help you all out...
"Contaminants are found in trace amounts in all foods. The U.S. Food and Drug Agency sets limits at which concentrations of contaminants are considered tolerable. In both the U.S. and Canada, the tolerable level for PCBs in fish is 2.0 parts per million (ppm).10 For red meat, the tolerable level for PCBs is 3.0 ppm (fat basis).11 If the eight-fold difference in PCBs levels of “wild” and farmed salmon had been between 0.5 ppm and 4.0 ppm, or between 0.05 ppm and 0.4 ppm, the findings would have been consequential to human health. However, the eight-fold difference was between 0.0366 ppm and 0.0048 ppm. Since the levels of PCBs were so much lower than 2.0 ppm in both farmed and “wild” salmon, the eight-fold difference is inconsequential."
Geez guys, these threads are really out of touch
No I think you may be out of touch.
Here are the responses I gave birdsnest (below) when he posted the responses by "Vivian Krause" to the peer reviewed Science of the contaminents article. Seeing you claim to be a "scientist" which many find hard to believe through your actions and words, I would have thought you would be advocating for a peer reviewed article in a journal over some rubbish by Vivian Krause. Maybe since your a scientist you could come up with something and have it published in a peer reviewed article to counter the claims? Or is Vivian Krause the best you have?
"hehe, I put out a link authored by a scientist to a study published in the prestigious Science magazine. I don't think there was any part of that study that had any notices or disclaimers or anything absolving him of any responsibility of what he published
unlike vivian krauses report (which doesn't look like it's published anywhere... ) ... Hmm, wonder why? Maybe she should get something published in Science magazine showing how wonderful and healthy farmed salmon is? ... Just the first page of vivian krauses rebuttal has to make you wonder how accurate anything she is saying is....
Did you get prior written permission before distributing the link Birdsnest? lol,"
