Is there a link between Mercury and heart disease?
Heart disease is the number two killer in the US. The party line is that the cause of heart disease is due to an elevation in cholesterol.

Children and Environmental Toxins
Our children, like ourselves, are susceptible to environmental toxins. Perhaps even more so. Their bodies are smaller and they may accumulate relatively higher levels than us. It is also true that many of them have acquired toxic exposures from their mothers during gestation. Ironically, the mother's body may dump her accumulated toxins into her baby resulting in a significant load for the baby by the time they are born. This infant acquired toxin load may be one of the reasons why we are seeing an exponential rise in ADD/ADHD, childhood obesity, diabetes, depression, suicide, autism and childhood cancer. These toxins include pesticides, dioxins, PCBs, arsenic, mercury, maternal drugs, etc. They can injure the newly developing cells in the brain and other organs. This can contribute to learning and behavior difficulties, blood sugar problems, appetite disturbances and others.

These are compounds that are naturally in fruits and vegetables and give them their characteristic colors from yellows to blues to reds. Generally, the richer the color, the more flavonol the food contains.

The label of hyperactivity is occurring in epidemic proportions in the US and abroad. Millions and millions of children are given this diagnosis and amphetamine type drugs are routinely used for "treatment."
