Diagnosis: Mercury Author To Speak In San Francisco, Feb. 4


Dr. Jane M. Hightower, author of the recent book Diagnosis: Mercury Money, Politics & Poison, will be speaking at the San Francisco JCC on Feb 4 at 6:30PM. I haven't read the book yet but it looks like a pretty good resource on the subject of mercury in our environment. There is a little more information about this engagement at Enviroblog here. I wish I was in the Bay area to attend, maybe some others can report on it.

Dr. Hightower was one of the co-researchers that discovered how mercury is getting into our food supply through high fructose corn syrup, one of the hottest recent topics in mercury circles. Hg-ATME reported on this Tuesday in the post below this one in the update at the bottom of the post. This discovery has ignited a huge debate in food quality discussions.
