Summary:
One morning in 2000, Dr. Jane Hightower walked into her exam room to find a patient with disturbing symptoms she couldnt explain. The woman was nauseated, tired, and had difficulty concentrating, but a litany of tests revealed no apparent cause. She was not alone. Dr. Hightower saw numerous patients with similar, inexplicable ailments, and eventually learned that there were many more around the nation and the world. They had little in commonexcept a healthy appetite for certain fish. Dr. Hightowers quest for answers led her to mercury, a poison that has been plaguing victims for centuries and is now showing up in seafood. But this explanation opened a Pandoras Box of thornier questions.
Why did some fish from supermarkets and restaurants contain such high levels of a powerful poison? Why did the FDA base its recommendations for safe mercury consumption on data supplied by Saddam Husseins Baathist extremists? And why wasnt the government warning its citizens?
In Diagnosis: Mercury, Dr. Hightower retraces her investigation into the modern prevalence of mercury poisoning, revealing how political calculations, dubious studies, and industry lobbyists endanger our health. While mercury is a naturally occurring element, she learns theres much that is unnatural about this poisons prevalence in our seafood. Mercury is pumped into the air by coal-fired power plants and settles in our rivers and oceans, and has been dumped into our waterways by industry. It accumulates in the fish we eat, and ultimately in our own bodies.
