“i'm generally not a fan of sardines for a lot of reasons i think the first reason is that it's really hard to keep fish fresh you guys know this if you throw fish next to yourself when you're fishing it's going to get rancid and rot really fast even if you put fish in a container in water it's going to get it's going to get rotten it's going to get oxidized like i don't know if anybody's ever looked at how much oxidation and lipid products of oxidation with the peroxides are in sardines but this is not a good thing guys i would not overeat this there's been many examples of people like joe rogan who ate a lot of sardines and then came up with high levels of heavy metals like arsenic”
“So even organic arsenic and things like sardines can raise your arsenic levels to harmful levels and can be a concern. Arsenic is a known carcinogen heavy metal.”
“We don't need extra amounts of heavy metals in our diet, guys. These are things like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. And they're high in sardines.”
“Last, but not least, they're not very high in mercury, but they're pretty darn high in arsenic, organic arsenic. It's arsenetane. Much easier for humans to get rid of than inorganic arsenic in foods like rice, but it can still raise your arsenic levels. And arsenic is a known heavy metal, which is a carcinogen.”
