If you missed the first two videos in this three part series, I reviewed the existing links between seafood and diabetes risk in Fish and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-and-diabetes) and explored this concept of our own body fat as a reservoir for disease-causing pollutants in Diabetes and Dioxins (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diabetes-and-dioxins).

More on hexachlorobenzene in my video Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-perfluorochemicals/).

• How Fast Can Children Detoxify from PCBs? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-fast-can-children-detoxify-from-pcbs)
• How Long to Detox From Fish Before Pregnancy? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-long-to-detox-from-fish-before-pregnancy/)
• The Wrong Way to Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-wrong-way-to-detox/)

The best way to detox is to stop toxing in the first place.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pollutants-in-salmon-and-our-own-fat/ and he'll try to answer it!
