Is Mercury Free better? Why?

My guess is that Mercury-free is simply safer. All else being equal, the used batteries that go into the landfill will not contain an environmental contaminant. Free Mercury in the environment is some bad stuff!

Mercury is a toxin that often ends up via our trash in a landfill and then leaches into our drinking water supplies.

Mercury is being banned in hearing aid batteries because mercury is not good for us. I just got hearing aids in May so this is the only battery i have used. They last about a week.

In my former home, trash went to a municipal incinerator rather than a landfill, so right away any mercury was going to end up vaporized in rainclouds, poisoning the environment somewhere. Think of that when supporting mercury-free batteries with your purchase.

I order the albacore. I use this product to limit mercury consumption. Mercury levels are extremely high in supermarket brands of tuna. While this is expensive, it is the best tasting tuna as well.

I switched to this because of the excessive dust with other litters for the health of my family and cats. There are no chemicals, perfumes, or silica dust. Anything else is extremely minimal. I don't think you can really find a safer for everyone litter. If you need no dust absolutely then you probably should not have cats or pets with hair.

Some BPA-free plastics are worse endocrine disrupters than BPA. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/tritan-certichem-eastman-bpa-free-plastic-safe

I had heard that mercury batteries actually worked better, lasted longer than the other. Getting rid of the mercury has more to do with batter disposal after use than with the battery service, however. Mercury is a carcinogen so we try not to dispose of it in such a way that doesn't get into the atmosphere through trash burning, or some other way.

Louise,I didn't know the answer to your questions so I called the company. The woman I talked to sounded a bit horrified when I asked if their products contained mercury. Her response was "Absolutely not!" She went on to add it does not contain gluten, dairy products, soy, or animal products either. Everything is made here in the US. I'm glad you asked, because I learned something as well.

According to their site .. Every batch of Nordic Naturals fish oils is tested by a third-party certified lab for environmental toxins, including heavy metals. You can request the certificate of analysis. So, yes. I believe its mercury safe.

The paraben free is considered healthier and more natural. Some people believe parabens cause cancer and other health issues

Look up their website, very informational. The tuna is 100%pole and troll caught, they select smaller fish, therefore less mercury. They seem to be a very good company. Tuna is excellent , better than Kirkland brand.

I don't know the direct answer but I find, from everyday experience, that the glycerite has a smoother taste that disperses so much better. It goes further, lasts longer, and I believe glycerine is also good for your health generally.

"Triquetra Health has tied up with Parry company to obtain organic Spirulina which has more organic and quality certifications than other sources of spirulina. It has also been tested and shown to be free of heavy metals and algae toxins" - quote from their site, hope it helps...cheers

The glass bottles are much easier to clean - think swish rather than scrub. Also some people feel they are safer for baby than plastic (even though the Avent plastic bottles are BPA free). I prefer the glass but my daycare only takes plastic because glass cracks in their bottle warmer. However for pumping I use the glass 4 oz glass bottles because I feel more comfortable having my milk "sit" in them all day while I am at work rather than plastic.

ALL fish contain some levels. I would want to know if this is chelated to remove mercury and other toxins.

In my opinion, Glisten is better because it has an effervescence that not only cleans the disposal, but also cleans the adjoining drain (double sink) and the common drain. I believe it has a stronger deodorant and is much better at reducing the odor of decomposing food.

Being methylated is better. It can cross the brain barrier and be used by the body better.
