I saw something about this on TV last night. They said there was a chance of getting cancer but I bet your chances of getting it are the same or worse from eating twenkies, burgers.....

Your probably right but it amazes me that we were the secound highest in contaminates and the food seems to be the blame.It makes me wounder if were really as smart as we think we are.

Well, I went to CNN.com and didn't find anything about Salmon on it. Since I don't usually eat store bought salmon, its not a big concern to me. No worse then Diet pop, or cigarettes. But hey David J., this could be good for business! If the media blows this up, you can offer "cancer free" salmon fishing trips, and raise the price!

I went to Comcast .net and the storie was on there page and from there it took me to CNN.Com Hope you find it it was pretty good.

I didnt see this for sure but was told by a guy at work that the contaminant tolerance that was quoted in the article was that of EPA. The fish all tested well within the limits of the FDA approval for food. Funny that the EPA limit is so much tighter than the FDA limit. What's up with that????? :whazzup: :whazzup:
