Not surprised at the Portugese. A friend of mine did her Erasmus exchange to Portugal and ate so much fish she developed (a mild case of) mercury poisoning.
I'm sorry but how is that possible? I'm here and I have eaten fish all my life, 50 years of it.
Had bloodwork done a few weeks ago that included count for heavy metals.
No sign of any kind poisoning.
The whole country should have from mild to heavy poisoning by now... And yet they don't.How do you explain this discrepancy?
How much mercury did your friend had before coming here? How much was it acquired here?
Fish of all kinds is a staple of mediterranean common diet, there should be people dropping left and right...She was a med student at the time, developed vague symptoms, and the doctors diagnosed her with mild mercury poisoning. She said that she basically subsisted on fish alone, I have no reason to doubt that.

I don’t, I’m retelling a story. I have not aquired her lab results and also didn’t do any sort of testing of heavy metals testing before her departure.

So is wheat, but if one eats nothing else they’ll still develop scurvy.
Turkey is unexpectedly low
Baltics are a showcase of who has less, wants more. Estonia has most coast but eats less fish than Latvia who has more coast than Lithuania who has least coast and eats most fish.
More coast- less fish eating Less coast- more fish eating
Fishy coast theory
may onley apply to baltics and be debunked by other countries
And this is why we're depleting our oceans
Iceland eats fish like it spits volcanos.
And how is that measured? Countries with high tourist numbers can totally mix things up in these statistics.
