Grizzlies And Salmon: Too Much Of A Good Thing?

There is growing evidence that mercury and other contaminants are in most fish that we eat. (Read this month's Reader's Digest for more on the topic). But now we see that it is even impacting the bears!

Grizzlies And Salmon: Too Much Of A Good Thing?: "It turns out that grizzlies that gorge themselves on salmon during the summer spawning season have much higher levels of contaminants in their bodies than their cousins who rely more on berries, plants and insects, according to Peter Ross of Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans"

Best advice? Moderate your fish intake.
