. . . recent scientific research suggests that the Japanese authorities might be endangering the health of their own children through this practice.
What research?
Dolphin meat is full of toxic mercury, cadmium, DDT and carcinogens such as dioxins and PCBs.
What does "full of" actually mean?
Some cuts of dolphin meat have more than 5,000 times the safe level of mercury.
Which cuts? How prevalent is this level in dolphin meat cuts?
Such levels can very quickly lead to severe nervous system problems and even insanity.
In the dolphins?
The dolphin meat is so toxic because the seas around Japan have become a soup of industrial wastes.
Where is the citation for this hyperbolic assertion?
And when the Japanese eat the dolphins, they progressively poison themselves.
Again, assertions without evidence.
This entire article is political propaganda.
The high mercury level dolphins are also from Indo-China.
