Dr. Sarah Ballantyne | Selenium: The Antioxidant You Didn't Know You Needed @DrSarahBallantyne | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Today let's discuss the science behind mercury poisoning, focusing on the organic form (methyl mercury) and its effects on the human body. I clarify misconceptions about seafood consumption and the differences between inorganic and organic mercury. I also highlighted the role of selenium enzymes in protecting the brain from oxidative damage caused by mercury poisoning and provided historical context on the use of mercury in feltmaking and its effects on hatters.
0:00 Mercury in Seafood

4:30 The Selenium Health Benefit
7:40 What about canned tuna?
