In a statement that must have been designed to make us laugh, or gag if anyone is really paying attention, the FDA recently announced that seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is fine to consume.

The Author Points Out:

The 30-year chemist who analyzed the samples said that normal levels would be "none detected." Yet, the oil levels detected were between 16 parts per million and 221 parts per million - and oil is considered toxic at 11 parts per million. These tests are helpful to combat the "because you can't see it, it's not there" thinking that BP - and apparently the FDA - is hoping the public will fall for. But these tests didn't even look for the chemicals used in the dispersants - and the dispersants are considered four times more toxic than the oil itself. One of the samples even exploded during the testing, and the veteran chemist attributed the explosion to either the gases released with the oil or the chemical dispersants.
