WARNING Do not eat whale meat Powered by CDNN CYBER DIVER News Network <a href= http www cdnn info news eco e081130 html >www cdnn info news eco e081130 html< a> by DEBORA MacKAENZIE FAROE ISLANDS 30 Nov 2008 Chief medical officers of the Faroe Islands have recommended that pilot whales no longer be considered fit for human consumption because they are toxic as revealed by research on the Faroes themselves The remote Atlantic islands situated between Scotland and Iceland have been one of the last strongholds of traditional whaling with thousands of small pilot whales killed every year and eaten by most Faroese Anti whaling groups have long protested but the Faroese argued that whaling is part of their culture an argument adopted by large scale whalers in Japan and Norway But today in a statement to the islanders chief medical officers Pál Weihe and Høgni Debes Joensen announced that pilot whale meat and blubber contains too much mercury PCBs and DDT derivatives to be safe for human consumption quot It is with great sadness that this recommendation is provided quot they said quot The pilot whale has kept many Faroese alive through the centuries quot But in quot a bitter irony quot they said research on the impact of the pollutants on the Faroese themselves has shown that mercury especially causes lasting damage The work has revealed damage to fetal neural development high blood pressure and impaired immunity in children as well as increased rates of Parkinson s disease circulatory problems and possibly infertility in adults The Faroes data renewed concerns about low level mercury exposures elsewhere
