 Salmon live in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Great lakes, and other lakes throughout the world. The Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia contains the world's greatest salmon sanctuary. The majority of Atlantic salmon in today's market is typically farmed (ninety-nine percent), while the majority of Pacific salmon is caught in the wild (eighty percent). Salmon farming is popular in Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Canada, and Chile; this type of salmon is most commonly consumed in the United
States and Europe. |

 In several lakes and waterways, including the Great lakes, Chesapeake Bay, the Columbia River in Washington, and the Potomac, fish have mutated into hermaphrodites (having both male and female sex organs) or changed sex entirely (gone from males to females). In southern California, many bottom-dwelling fish off the coast are now hermaphrodites. What's more, the ocean floor's sediment is contaminated with estrogenic chemicals that get absorbed by bottom-feeding organisms and passed up along the food chain. |

| Are the lakes completely covered with water lilies both blue and white, and lotus flowers both red and white?"
The ogre: "Do you see that dark green streak of woods? Beyond that point the entire forest is one mass of water; it rains all the time; the hollows are full of water; everywhere are lakes completely covered with lotus flowers both red and white." And then, as the carts passed one after another, he inquired: "What goods do you have in this cart—and in that? The last moves very heavily; what goods do you have in that?" "We have water in that," the leader answered. |

 Pollutants from fertilisers, pesticides, detergent washing powders and industrial wastes foul rivers, lakes, reservoirs and our domestic water. Then chemicals such as chlorine, fluoride and aluminium are added to our water supplies to complete the health-destroying cocktail.
Fruit and vegetables are grown with artificial fertilisers and sprayed with chemicals. Animals are treated with artificial hormones to increase their weight, with antibiotics to prevent disease and are reared on crops sprayed with chemicals. |

Tobacco Smoke
It is well known that smoking and second hand smoke cause cancer and heart disease. It can also lead to other conditions such as: stroke, lung disease, chronic bronchitis, miscarriages, underweight babies, sudden infant death syndrome (sids), meningitis, and osteoporosis. Over 4,000 different chemical compounds, including heavy metals and pesticides, have so far been found in tobacco smoke. |

 When Martin's constituents began complaining about mysteriously withered crops and crop dusters spraying fertilizer out on the open prairie for no apparent reason, she learned that Cenex, a fertilizer-specialty division of the Land O'Lakes Company (yes, the butter people), was shipping toxic waste to her town, mixing it with other chemicals in a big concrete pond near the train station, and then selling the concoction as cheap, low-grade fertilizer.
It was a great scheme. Industrial polluters needing to dispose of toxic waste avoided the high cost of legitimate dumps. |
| While the other passengers enjoyed some Hollywood epic, I drank in the vast plain of bare rock and shallow lakes crawling by six miles below. For tens of millions of years before the onset of the glacial eta, deep soil and weathered rock covered northern Canada. Redwood trees gtew in the Arctic. Then, as the planet cooled into a glacial deep freeze about two and a half million years ago, rivers of ice began stripping northern Canada down to hard rock, dumping the ancient soil in Iowa, Ohio, and as far south as Missouri. |

 Big business insists that the amount released into the environment is insignificant, politicians continue to curry favor with big business by giving them unacceptably long lead times to clean up their act, and meanwhile our rivers, lakes, and oceans are contaminated with this powerful toxin. |

 It spreads easily through unprotected water supplies when soiled clothes or bed linens are washed in rivers, ponds, and lakes, or through sewage runoff. And again, cholera actually has an advantage in evolving toward virulence—as the bacteria reproduces ruthlessly, causing more and more diarrhea, the infected person may excrete as many as a billion copies of the organism, increasing the likelihood that some bacteria finds its way to a new host. |
| Some amphibians, like the bullfrog, spend the winter in the frigid but unfrozen water at the bottom of lakes and rivers. The mammoth Antarctic cod happily swims beneath the Antarctic ice; its blood contains an antifreeze protein that sticks to ice crystals and prevents them from growing. On the Antarctic surface, the woolly bear caterpillar lives through temperatures as low as minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit for fourteen years, until it turns into a moth and flies off into the sunset for a few short weeks. |

 Wild fish come mostly from the oceans, although some may be caught in lakes or rivers. Farmed fish are fed grains, just like corn-fed cows. They tend to have a higher percentage of undesirable omega-6 fats and more pesticides and chemical contaminants.
Practical Guidelines for Healthy Eating Habits
Our practical guidelines focus mostly on selecting specific healthy foods and ingredients and avoiding others. These dietary recommendations are essentially our version of the Mediterranean diet. |

| While scattered bands of people foraged around Europe's lakes, rivers, and coast, a rich soil developed beneath huge oak, elm, and beech trees that stabilized loess-mantled slopes.
Germany's first farmers were drawn to the forest soil developed on silt dropped by glacial winds between the Rhine and Danube rivers. Several centuries later a second wave of related arrivals settled across northern Europe in a band stretching from Russia to France. Soon farmers grew wheat, barley, peas, and lentils on the region's fertile loess. Hunting and gathering thrived outside the loess belt. |

 One must, of course, ignore the mercury or other metals they absorb from the sea, lakes and rivers, or the antibiotics, coloring agents and other food additives that farmed fish are fed.) Fish has to be rich in nutrients otherwise we wouldn't have whales, dolphins and bears, or any life at all on this planet. This doesn't mean, though, that everything nutritious that exists in nature should also appear on our dinner plate.
As previously explained, once a fish or an animal has been killed, the oxygen supply to the cells is cut off. |

| The rivers and lakes dried. The animals died. The people began to die. Many people died. Mwuetsi's children asked: 'What can we do?' Mwuetsi's children said: 'We will consult the hakata (sacred dice).' The children consulted the hakata. The hakata said: 'Mwuetsi the Mambo is sick and pining. Send Mwuetsi back to the Dsivoa.'
"Thereupon Mwuetsi's children strangled Mwuetsi and buried him. They buried Morongo with Mwuetsi. Then they chose another man to be Mambo. Morongo, too, had lived for two years in Mwuetsi's Zimbabwe." 9

 Fitzgerald: Starting about two decades ago, wildlife biologists began noticing -- in lakes, rivers, the ocean and in swamps like the Everglades -- that fish and amphibian species, in particular, were becoming mutants. Hermaphrodites were emerging in numbers never seen before. Alligators in the swamps of the Everglades were developing both male and female sex organs. Fish off of the coast of California were developing both male and female sex organs. Fish in the great lakes began developing both male and female sex organs.

 Despite the risks of these ecological disasters, the United States does not regulate the amount of pharmaceuticals that can be released into rivers and lakes, a fact that scientists are beginning to question as Americans take ever more pills.
"We're a chemically dependent society," Dr. Kolpin said. "We need to understand the consequences."
Americans were well versed in the virtues of their daily meds. The industry had made sure of that through its almost Orwellian promotion. What the public had largely overlooked was what was happening around them as a result of the fast-rising prescriptions. |

 How did so much mercury get into the oceans and lakes to be consumed by fish in the first place? Since the advent of the industrial age, the atmospheric burden of mercury in our environment— meaning the amount falling from the sky from waste from coal combustion, incineration, mining, coal-fired utilities, and industrial boilers—has tripled. In the United States, coal-fired power plants alone spew about fifty tons of mercury into the air each year. |

 Plant foods grown in the so-called goiter belt areas of the country (the Great lakes region, the Midwest, and the Intermoun-tain states) lack iodine because the soil and water are iodine deficient. Today, iodine deficiency is considered rare in the United States due to the widespread distribution of foods from areas of the country sufficient in iodine and due to the availability of iodized salt. Certain foods, such as seafood and seaweeds, are naturally high in iodine and might be used to supplement a diet low in iodine. |

 Ducks and geese have been found poisoned in lakes polluted by lead shot. Shooting ranges could be declared hazardous waste sites by the Environmental Protection Agency when they are shut down, and it will cost millions of dollars to clean them up. DOE recognizes the contamination problem that exists at its own shooting ranges, which are used by security personnel. So, it plans to switch from lead bullets to ESPTM bullets for training and security."

 Researchers at the Great lakes Water Institute in Milwaukee and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are currently studying the effects of PPCPs on the fathead minnow, a fish native to Wisconsin. Preliminary data have shown lipid-regulating compounds, such as Lipitor or Zocor, are causing fish to deposit fat into their eggs which might affect reproduction.
"Pharmaceuticals are designed for a very specific mode of action," lead scientist Rebecca Klaper stated. Klaper said some of the male minnows are "missing a few steps" as they prepare for mating. |
