To counter alot of the mercury, just eat seaweed...its worked for thousands of years. You can also get organic, tank grown fish that doesnt suffer from all the mercury and other toxins...but honestly...seaweed works great...specially with some good octowaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles!!! :D

Tank grown fish? lol. Let me see these TANK GROWN FISH. Im assuming you are meaning farmed fish. Farmed fish are just kept together in close corridors, and STILL fed wild fish or pellets made from these wild fish. Farmed fish are 10x worse than wild caught fish. The fact of the matter is the larger the fish, the more concentrated the toxins will be. Example there is a pound of herring with 1ppm of mercury in its blood. The salmon then eats 10 pounds of these herring to grow one pound. That now means that salmon has 10ppm of mercury in his body. Though its not as high as 1 ppm, its a dumbed down example. So that is going to happen anyways, in nature. Then to farm these animals, where theyre not eating their natural foods (Krill, which is why they are pink.) Youre just feeding them random meat and other foods, which lead to higher phosphates, and higher risk for detrimental algal blooms. Have fun eating your artificially colored salmon, which is GREY.

And yes, eat seaweed to fight mercury. Are you aware most seaweed contains arsenic? Instead of eating high levels of mercury, then trying to eat something else, to help out... how about NOT eating a lot of mercury?

What kind of protien shakes are you taking?

If your taking the soy based ones, those are okay, but they will not work as well as whey protien. Though I friggin love muscle milk!!! That shit works wonders and actually tastes good!!!

Whey works as well as soy, as well as casein, as well as egg, etc. Its digestion rates which differ. Look at the nutritional label of muscle milk. That shit is disgustingly unhealthy. You can use a quality protein like syntha 6, which has whey, soy, and 4 other proteins. Its lower in fat, cholesterol, and especially sugars. Or Optimum nutrition has their 100% whey which has less than 2g of fat, and around 2g of sugar, and is incredibly affordable (70 servings for like $30). Muscle Milk is absolute shit, I dont want to get started on that again.

about mercury...well I am fucked either way then huh?

about muscle milk ... it tastes good damit!

Ive never heard anything of that George. Any links by any chance?

Sorry - I don't have anything bookmarked. I've just been paying attention to it I guess.

I'm sure if I googled it I could find something - of course you could google that "air" is bad for you too.

But IMHO, SOY is great for chicks.

• Reduce the risk of breast cancer7,8.
• Reduce the need for hysterectomy10.
• Increase bone mineral density11.
• Assist in body weight control14.

Not so good for guys.

the fact that soy is a rich source of isoflavones (also known as phytoestrogens), which mimic the effects of the hormone estrogen.

It's like eating a birth control pill. I don't have kids yet (that I know of) but if I knock up a chick, she wont have any soy if she is going to have a boy

Syntha 6 tastes better, try it. And about mercury, not really. There arent many things with a super high mercury content. Just limit the shit you eat, its not that difficult. Eat canned chicken instead of canned tuna, for example.

[jflip2002]

Yeah, we've always assumed it was good for women

I'm far from a vegitarian by any standards, however i think there should be a limit to how far we go with our carnivorous exploits. I dont understand some people's desire to taste EVERY animal on the planet. I also feel that if we do decide to kill and eat any particular animal it should be respectful (by respectful I mean with respect to their population) and humane. Here is what I'm talking about:

im just surprised that those whale wars guys actually got their asses off their stoner couches and did something. people of the radical left are always full of talk but never any walk.

I ve recently started learning more and more about cooking and nutrition...I dont eat anything canned, if I can I eat fresh. I cant stand tuna unless its sushi, and chicken...well I am a southern boy...if its still got feathers I can cook it! :D

Where would I pick any info about Syntha 6, as well as the product itsself?

bodybuilding.com is useful.

Wow. Playing the morality card regarding eating meat is just stupid. How do you feel when animals kill and eat each other in the wild? It's no different from a moralistic/philosophical stand point. People who have this kind of feeling about eating meat usually have some deep-seeded regret or guilt about something that makes them feel as though they have to make up for lost time by being morally just. Somehow, not eating meat fills that void. Someone who is "normal" or just going about their life doesn't see the need to get on a crusade to save retarded birds or herd animals from slaughter to feed the populous.

I did go vegan for a month. felt great. lost a ton of weight. took a minute plus off my mile time. It really is healthier for you, no denying it.

Then I had a cheeseburger. It was possibly the best tasting thing I had ever had. I now eat meat regularly.

Oh common man, you know this.

The vegans will say we have other means now that we did not before. Animals kill one another because they need to, to survive. They will say we do not need to do that, at least not anymore. Why kill for your own pleasure? So, really it is a different philosophy/morality standpoint between humans and wild animals.

To say they do it because of deep seeded problems is pretty bogus. They probably do it because they like tasting vegan jizz from one another :p

edit: Isn't there different types of soy? I think soy from plants doesn't contain any estrogen..something like that.

[jflip2002]

Soy is a plant.... lol. Theres one Soy, and its called soy.

[mrsleeve]

^^^^^^^^^^

and its not good for you.

I'll fall back on the old saying "nothing in excess".
Being a Vegan is ridiculous. Vegan isn't just about eating no meat, it's about NO MEAT PRODUCTS whatsoever.

I didn't go there to cause shit. I was posting normally and added a raw meat avatar as a joke. They took it seriously. I got banned for being pro meat...
