“Mercury Metabolism by Bacteria in Humans”
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how the bacteria in your gut can improve the break-down and de-toxification of non-harmful levels of a naturally occurring form of mercury (methylmercury) that comes with eating fish. This research could help scientists and doctors understand whether or not mercury in fish that we are likely to eat poses any concern for the health of people.
