DESCRIPTION: How many months does it take to clear 99% of the mercury and other industrial toxins from one's body and how might our fat stores play a role in holding on to fat-soluble pollutants?

Mercury vs. Omega-3s for Brain Development (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mercury-vs-omega-3s-for-brain-development) is the study about balancing risks and benefits.

I explored how long it takes to get rid of some of the other pollutants in How Fast Can Children Detoxify from PCBs? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-fast-can-children-detoxify-from-pcbs/) PCBS are found most concentrated in fish and eggs (Food Sources of PCB Chemical Pollutants, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-pcb-chemical-pollutants/), which may be why there're lower levels of Industrial Pollutants in Vegans (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/industrial-pollutants-in-vegans/). I wonder if this helps explain the remarkable findings in Eggs and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-and-diabetes).

The fact that we can still find DDT in Umbilical Cord Blood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/ddt-in-umbilical-cord-blood/) decades after the pesticide was banned speaks to the persistence of some pollutants. There's a shortcut for moms, but it's The Wrong Way to Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-wrong-way-to-detox/).
