Being born and raised in Japan, I find it sad to have to post this bad news, but it’s necessary for me to do so. 

A recent study has found mercury contamination in at least one fish out of a few hundred. That means all of us fish eaters consume at least a small amount of mercury into our bodies; unfortunately, there is no exception. Mercury pollution comes through the air and water from many industries.

We all are slowly accumulating mercury into our bodies. And once we hit a certain level of mercury consumption, we could develop diseases such as Minamata disease.

That’s why I’ve become more and more of an activist of eco-consciousness as time goes by - because I’ve been learning about what is going on in our modern society. Eco-consciousness is not only for the Earth but also for our bodies. It’s a chain of life.
