1. Gulf Seafood Isn’t Safe-and if you are eating seafood from the Gulf, it isn’t safe either! The Natural Resources Defense Council found that what the FDA said is safe to eat is actually 10,000 times the safe levels of the contaminate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which is linked to cancer, birth defects and liver disease. There were already some food safety issues with fish even before the Gulf disaster, now there’s one more!
