Science proves that ethyl mercury is actually far MORE toxic than methyl mercury. Most nurses and doctors parrot the myth the other way around, falsely claiming that ethyl mercury is less persistent in the body so therefore its less toxic, except they have no science to back that up, whatsoever. They want you to assume a lie before they tell you another lie. As much as they all worship at the peer-reviewed altar, they cant cite one single scientific study thats been published to support their argument. Guess what? Thats because the science swings completely in the other direction, proving ethyl mercury to be 50 times more toxic and TWICE as persistent in the human brain. Oops.
