New Study Says FDA Underestimated Seafood Contamination Risk After BP Oil Spill
A new study suggests that following the BP oil spill, the FDA "seriously underestimated the cancer risk from contaminants that can accumulate in seafood," according to a Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) press release.
The study, “Seafood Contamination After the BP Gulf Oil Spill and Risks to Vulnerable Populations: A Critique of the FDA Risk Assessment," was published this week in Environmental Health Perspectives. It found that the FDA allowed "up to 10,000 times too much contamination" and didn't identify the risks to children and pregnant women posed by contaminated seafood.
The NRDC has filed a petition with the FDA asking them to set an upper limit for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in seafood. The NRDC said PAHs can "cause cancer, birth defects, neurological delays and liver damage."
The study also found that the FDA's "scientific standards [in 2010] were less stringent than those used by the agency in the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, which occurred in 1989," according to OnEarth.
This is not the first time that the government's seafood testing standards in the Gulf have been questioned. Last December, a toxicologist with a team challenging the FDA's seafood testing said, the "FDA simply overlooked an important aspect of safety in their protocol," reported MSNBC.
An NRDC survey last year also found that Gulf residents were consuming seafood at rates "far higher than those being used by federal and state regulators to determine if contamination levels pose a risk to human health," according to The Times-Picayune.
Last summer, Stephen Colbert joked that his "mouth [was] watering already," after hearing that Gulf seafood "tested below the level of concern for health risks."

To All My "Girl" Friends
I don't want to brag or make anyone jealous or anything,
but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.
I am only as strong as the coffee I drink, the hairspray I use, and the friends I have.
To the cool women who have touched my life. Here's to you!
National Girlfriends Day
If you get this twice , you know you have more than one girlfriend.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR GIRLFRIENDS AND RETURN IT TO THE FRIEND WHO SENT IT TO YOU
It is good to be a woman:
1. We got off the Titanic first.
2. We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
3. Taxis stop for us.
4. We don 't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
5. No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival the Speedo.
6. We don 't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.
9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.
11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.
12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.
13. We will never regret piercing our ears.
14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.
15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.
Send this to all the bright women you know and make their day!!!!!
