How is believing Salmon to be a health food a "dumb" belief? Any belief that isn't yours you call dumb.

@Something Funny So is Dr. Rhonda Patrick "dumb" because she doesn't agree with your belief? Do you see how arbitrary this all is?

To believe heavy metals will give you superhuman power is a nonsensical belief to have.

And this is a judgement based on priors, similar to how "heavy metals are toxic" is a prior to the judgement of whether you should consume them or not.

we don't know if small amounts of heavy metals are toxic.

You argument is about degrees. What is your standard for whether something toxic or not? Does it have to be measureable?

You don't have proof for this. This is a belief.

If you act in accordance to your belief, then that is kinda pushing it less in your favor, making it more unknown, higher risk.

@Yali just like you don't have proof that high amounts of heavy metals won't give you super powers, lol.

That's such a stupid example because high amounts of heavy metals obviously don't give you super powers.

Small amounts of heavy metals being toxic is not so obvious, yet you won't admit that.

@Carl-Richard There isn't a "higher" risk. The risk of consuming trace amounts of heavy metals is unknown.

Look, we dont really know anything if you take "arbitrary" as your standard. The risk of smoking, eating shitty food all the time or being stressed out of your mind is entirely arbitrary on an invidual level. I cant tell how one of these risk factors will eventually affect your life in particular, but I can do an approximation that will lead to a certain propability. You are talking in absolutes when realtiy if full of relativities,

Yes, Leo is of course wrong when he says that any amount of heavy metal will lead to net-negative consequences. Its also wrong to say "salmon is poison". Salmon is not one thing and there are immense differences in that subgroup. Simpleton thinking is happening here on both sides, and neither is willing to give a finger.

@Yali It will still accumulate over years and turn into a high enough dose to become an issue.

This is your belief based on your personal preference of eering on the safe side.

You don't actually know this. @Something Funny

I never said Salmon is good. I'm saying I don't know, and it probably depends on the individual.

@Something Funny won't admit that he doesn't know. He thinks he knows.

@Yali "safe" doses over decades will lead to them accumulating and reaching high enough dose to hurt you?

Because everyone is different. What a "Safe" dose might do to you over decades, might not do to me.

The point is no one knows since it varies on a individual basis. 

If you want to veer on the side of safety, then avoid it completely. But that's your personal choice.
