Short conversational clip featuring Robert Whitfield MD. A speaker reports very high mercury in a lab test (stated as "Mercury was 170" with expected/normal cited as under 5) despite having no dental fillings; the speaker says about five metals were elevated and speculates that reduced animal meat and increased plant-based/vegan products (plant proteins, tofu) — potentially contaminated via soil — may explain exposure.
Mercury was 170 and it should be under 5. So it was pretty. Well, I mean, you can add me to that list. I have no idea which ones were high for her, but I had about five that were high. One in particular was Mercury. Mercury was 170 and it should be under 5. So it was.
Pretty fillings or anything like that?
No, no fillings.
And you're just like. That doesn't make any sense. Especially between y' all are very health conscious. You're not like, yeah, things that, you.
Know, the only thing, the only thing that I ended up hearing after was that, you know, this was also during that wave of oh, less animal meat, more vegan products and so, so plant proteins, because again it's from soil also are loaded with, with heavy metals compared to away protein or something like that. And then also just the substitutes, like, you know, whether you eat tofu or.
Eat a more vegetarian diet back then I don't, you know, and I don't have a, a dog in the fight per se. But I find vegans have the hardest time with surgery and recovery just because they don't get enough protein and they have all this kind of. Whether or not they appreciate there's a lot of processing in, in most of the stuff. Unless you're like.
