Lots of health conscious people worry about mercury contamination from fish eating. According to recent JAMA report on fish eating, Alzheimer's and mercury, no fish eaters out of 286 deceased participants in Chicago area had mercury related dementia-Alzheimer's symptoms. Rather fish eating habit mitigated possible negative impact of brain deterioration on APOe4 gene holders( about 25% out of 286 people), most susceptible people for Alzheimer's. We are under-informed on detoxification by sulfur and selenium that attach to mercury, lead, arsenic or other toxic metals in our body for excretion. According to Dr. Russell Jaffe, a detoxification and antioxidant expert, most of us are in deficit of sulfur or selenium because we are not eating sulfur or selenium containing foods such as onion/garlic group or broccoli/cabbage group, enough on a regular basis. Fortunately most of the ocean fish contains more selenium than mercury. This is the reason why above-mentioned fish eaters didn't have mercury related brain deterioration, though they had higher mercury level but also higher selenium level at the same time.
