If you are really concerned about heavy metal toxins you can get yourself checked out at these locations.

I go there every 5 years to see if there are any changes from my previous findings

Excellent info about these testing places, Hugo! But I am really interested in knowing whether your values have gone up during these years... Do you drink just filtered and bottle water as most of us? Thanks.

Be interesting to know results of someone who's lived here a while.

I had a full screening of heavy metals done in the military before I left the USA 14 years ago.

I have done the tests twice since I have been here. I do the tests every 5 years to notice if there are any differences.

I do not buy bottled water. We use boiled tap water only. The only test that showed a tiny increase (0.01+) was the fluoride test as they are putting that crap into everything now.

I do not eat any seafood, especially any type of bottom feeders as that is where most of the heavy metals usually end up in

At the VA hospital last month, two doctors were discussing some of my lab results specifically fluctuating results in liver tests. One question asked was if I had eaten a lot of fish.

Today, I read about some 700 cases of "cholangiocarcinoma," being treated by the VA, which may be caused by: "Parasites ingested in raw or poorly cooked river fish. These liver flukes attach to the lining of the bile duct and, over time, cause inflammation and scarring. Decades after infection, a rare cancer called cholangiocarcinoma can develop. Symptoms typically do not occur until advanced stages."

I rarely eat fish, primarily for the reason HFCAMPO gives above. I am not worried myself, but fish eaters should think about this:

So cook fish well. Fish is usually pretty well cooked here. Has little to do with the tap water.
