From a practical point of view, eating fish is potentially dangerous because of the widespread, ever-increasing pollution of the waters of the world as well as the recent ongoing radioactive contamination from Fukushima of the ocean waters (directly) and fresh waters (indirectly through the air). The biggest water contaminants are PCBs and mercury. PCBs, along with dioxin, DDT, and dieldrin, are among the most toxic chemicals on the planet. According to John Culhane, in his 1980 article “PCBs: The Poisons That Won’t Go Away,” only a few parts per billion of these substances can cause cancer and birth defects in lab animals.19 The tenth annual Council on Environmental Quality, sponsored by the U.S. government, reported PCBs in 100% of all human sperm samples. According to a Washington Post article in 1979, PCBs are considered one of the main reasons that the average sperm count of the American male is approximately 70 percent of what it was 30 years ago. This same article also points out that 25% of college students were sterile at the time as compared to 0.5% 35 years earlier. Most toxicity experts agree that the main source of human contamination comes from eating fish from waters in which the PCB levels are high, which today can be almost anywhere. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that fish can accumulate up to nine million times the level of PCBs in the water in which they live. PCBs have been found in fish from the deepest and most remote parts of the world’s oceans.
