Mercury in Tuna fish

Montel had a piece today on a mom who ate Tuna 6 times a week when she was pregnant. She was pregnant twice, back to back, and both her kids, boys, are autistic.

Recent reports have pinned the recent surge in Autism to mercury in vaccines, and I think that the mercury was only removed in 2003.

Not only is it bad for kids, it's bad for your memory, daily functions. Mercury actually builds up in your system and becomes worse as it continues to build upon its deposits. Plus, do you have an old fillings? These used to (a very long time ago) have mercury in this as well.
