30. It is needed for rational understanding of the problem
The amount of mercury retained by the body is what determines the risk.

If none is retained, the risk is ZERO.

So what fraction is retained? If you don't know that, you don't know the risk.

And you are still dodging the issue of dose.

Eight glasses of water per day will help you maintain good health, but eight gallons of water per day will cause an electrolyte imbalance and lead to congestive heart failure.

The amount consumed is critical. You seem to think that any amount is dangerous even though you have no evidence to support that.

So unless you have some facts other than repeating "It's CUMULATIVE" over and over,I've got to assume that you just don't know what you are talking about.
