Eating Fish
I received this letter from a notmilk reader this
week:
"Dear Notmilkman,
I am a vegetarian who occasionally eats seafood. Is
there really anything wrong with eating wild fish?"
Yesterday (October 2, 2007), Utah's Salt Lake Tribune
reported:
"State issues new fish advisory for Utah Lake
By Tom Wharton"
It seems that Utah's Department of Health identified 209
different PCBs (chlorinated man-made toxins) which are
found in fish flesh.
Utah's official advisory warns:
"Consumption of carp and channel catfish be limited to
one 4-ounce meal per month for adults and that children,
pregnant women and women who can become pregnant avoid
eating those fish from Utah Lake."
Food for Thought regarding fish consumption by two
of my favorite vegetarian Seventy-day Adventists.
Please try to digest the following:
"In many places fish become so contaminated by the
filth on which they feed as to be a cause of disease.
This is especially the case where the fish come in
contact with the sewage of large cities. The fish
that are fed on the contents of the drains may pass
into distant waters and may be caught where the water
is pure and fresh. Thus when used as food they bring
disease and death on those who do not suspect the
danger.
- Ellen G. White, Ministry of Healing
"In Michigan and several other areas, Diphyllobothrium
latum, the fish tapeworn, has been identified in man.
Opportunity for infection occurs when undercooked fish
is eaten. A 51-year-old man passed a long, whitish string
which he took to his physician. He had had no bowel
complaints, but reported a fishing trip to the Northwest
area eleven months before.
The fish tapeworm normally lives in the small intestine
of fish in subarctic and temperate regions. It is the
largest tapeworm found in man. It competes with the host
for nutrients, which is the major cause for disability
produced in man. Especially notable is megaloblastic
anemia due to vitamin B-12 deficiency since the tapeworm
inhabits the parts of the small bowel where B-12 is
absorbed. Numbness of the extremities is the most common
complaint, along with fatigue, weakness, and dizziness.
All of these are vague and non-specific complaints and
can go on for years before the appropriate diagnosis is
suspected."

It's foolish to assume there is any such thing as "pure" water in any
stream/lake in the U.S. Common harmful organisms are giardia and coccidia.
In high acid rain areas, water may be "crystal clear" because it's too
acidic for anything much to live in it.
After the Corps of Engineers built two flood control dams in my rural
northeast county, one (of three) impoundment turned out to be too acidic
to support fish life. When the state finally got around to testing fish in
the other two impoundments, predator species were found to be contaminated
with mercury; consumption was restricted to one fish meal a month for
children and pregnant women. The probable source of the mercury is
blow-in (along with the pollutants that cause the acid rain) from coal
burning plants to the West. PCBs are also primarily an industrial
pollutant.

In 2005 and 2006, 22 states and the District of Columbia reported that
100% of their lake acres and river miles were under advisory for one or
more contaminants: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and
Wisconsin.
