So the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ( http://www.bt.cdc.gov/gulfoilspill2010/seafood_safety.asp ) gave this statement:

The ongoing oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has the potential to raise food safety concerns about possible health effects from contaminated seafood harvested from the Gulf. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with other federal and state agencies are monitoring the seafood supply for signs of oil contamination. For the seafood to pose a health risk, the food would have to be heavily contaminated with oil, and would therefore have a strong odor and taste of oil.

This is complete BS!!!! Corexit breaks down oil into its basic chemicals and also combines with these chemicals to make all new unknown chemicals, Corexit itself is deadly if ingested. Oil broken down has the following chemicals: Benzene, Arsenic, Heavy Metals,Mercury and Aromatic hydrocarbons. Of these Arsenic and Mercury are both tasteless and odorless and quite deadly. Yet here the grand masters, the best of the best our great benevolent masters telling us that if it doesn't smell and taste like crude oil its safe to eat as much as you like!The other chemicals build up in your body until they overcome organs . Your tax money going towards the poisoning of our children!

Don't eat the shrimp.

I would hope that they would have checked the mercury and arsenic levels in the water, crude oil, and sea life before making such a call. True mercury/arsenic has no taste nor smell, but you can test water, oil, food to see what level of each it holds..

I did and I see that presently, testing of seafood from the gulf is being conducted by the Gulf States, FDA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), so we hopefully would have been told if the food is contaminated

But the very fact they say for it to be contaminated it would need to smell and taste like oil is completely asinine. And also points to some kind of coverup, because that is simply not true.

Common sense tells me to avoid filter feeders where there was an oil spill......im not concerned about any government report or opinion, they've been wrong and/or covered shit up before.

Sure there is, but I highly doubt its to the tune of 200 million gallons every 3 months worth though. Besides the whole point of the post is the CDC saying that anything that doesn't smell like oil is perfectly safe to eat, say for instance one full of arsenic, or mercury. They lie.

exactly...the oil is the least of the worries. the untested 'dispersants' worry me much more.
