Our Kidneys can handle these but depends how good they are. A sign of a weak kidneys are leg and back pain, urinary urgency, fatigue, swelling of ankles, foot, legs and hands, irritated skin, nausea, metallic flavour on your tongue (smells like ammonia). It's always best to check with your doctors. If the immune system is suppressed from chemotheraphies and radiation the kidney plays an important role. Kidney process all that chemo drugs and If it is weak, chances are you're not gonna make it. Life is short, risk is everywhere, everyone will choose whats best for them.
 
One of my uncles is swollen, but he does eat a lot of food. My other uncle is pretty skinny.
 
I've eaten 25"+ coho from east trib during salmon run. Needed the roe and didn't want to waste the fish. But it was super chrome. Also have kept 30" chrome chinook but meat wasn't good at all, had to feed to dog (meat was more white than orange). Also kept a 18" chrome bow from east trib.

As far as taste, not as good as up north that's for sure. The best bows I eat are from GB tribs. But sometimes you cant go that far and you need roe. I dont think it's good to eat all the time, but once a month a meal can't hurt you that bad. Especially compared to what's at the grocery store.

Europeans come by during the salmon run and take home super beat up black/brown chinnies and since they come back each year I don't think it's killing them off LOL so unless you have health problems, eating lake O fish will probably be fine.
 
Try to find out where that next fish came from when you're thinking about buying it at the store...
It doesn't seem that bad if you don't know...but if you only knew...lol
 
i dont trust these eating guides anymore, you know, canadas food guide to healthy is run by the dairy farmers and that is why milk is on there, we don;t NEED milk, theres a reason why every living animal stops drinking it after a certain age, theres a lot worse things to worry about than eating a couple of fish from lake O, like why so much sugar in everything

This is true !! A fact I learned in high school science is that everyone to some degree is lactose intolerant !! We drink it for the rich calcium but there is other ways to get just not as easily for the volume

We were born with different genes, some genes can tolerate lots of diseases but weaker on the other diseases.
 
I don't think Eating a Lake O fish here and there is a big deal when you consider the fact that we live in a chemical cocktail polluted soup these days anyhow.

I'd honestly like the see the same testing done on factory farmed meat in the grocery store, or seafood that comes from abroad. You don't see any consumption limits on that crap...

same with grains, ever since they genetically modified everything, more and more people are becoming intolerant to gluten, peanuts and now garlic, apparently there have been studies done where the numbers say it will take 2500 years of evolution for our bodies to properly process the modifications we've made to our food
 
Milk generally is not "good" for humans, especially after a certain age (25+). The fats and proteins that are in cow milk specifically are not meant to be processed by humans, and can cause, overtime damage or build up of "harmful" deposits. Now this does not go for everything, as people are very different...however, drinking milk my the litre is definitely not recommended...as it is low on the Ph scale (acidic) , thus casuing a rukus in your stomach.

The amount of crap in our food these days is UNREAL !....if only we actually knew. That is why my house is only organic everything...its been like that for well over 10 years. I havn't stepped inside a mcdonalds in over 8 years, and eat extremely healthy and concious.

However, I still think that based on these results, consuming a 12inch rainbow is probably more good than bad for you. And I can with 100% certainty say much better for you than those 3 foot long farm raised salmon.

What about free wifi while on the road, or bathroom stops?

Seriously though, my immune system collapsed near the beginning of 2012, and I just barely survived and managed to recoup quite a bit of my health. I still have a compromised immune system, so I am in a good position to be a "guinea pig" for junk food, because if it's bad, I can feel it immediately through various symptoms.

I wouldn't eat a McDonalds burger unless someone paid me thousands of dollars, because I would literally be playing with my life! Same goes for a fish from Lake O. Before I got really ill, I would eat fast food and the occasional small fish from Lake O. But definitely never again! I would however eat a fish from Lake Huron or Georgian Bay. Lake O is much more polluted. But many of my friends don't seem to care and still eat Lake O fish.

Functions of the liver:

The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called bile, which helps carry away waste products from the liver. All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood and breaks down the nutrients and drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body. More than 500 vital functions have been identified with the liver. Some of the more well-known functions include the following:

Production of bile, which helps carry away waste and break down fats in the small intestine during digestion
Production of certain proteins for blood plasma
Production of cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats through the body
Conversion of excess glucose into glycogen for storage (glycogen can later be converted back to glucose for energy)
Regulation of blood levels of amino acids, which form the building blocks of proteins
Processing of hemoglobin for use of its iron content (the liver stores iron)
Conversion of poisonous ammonia to urea (urea is an end product of protein metabolism and is excreted in the urine)
Clearing the blood of drugs and other poisonous substances
Regulating blood clotting
Resisting infections by producing immune factors and removing bacteria from the bloodstream

When the liver has broken down harmful substances, its by-products are excreted into the bile or blood. Bile by-products enter the intestine and ultimately leave the body in the form of feces. Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys, and leave the body in the form of urine.

The liver can lose three-quarters of its cells before it stops functioning.
In addition, the liver is the only organ in the body that can regenerate itself.


Here's a Link to liver diseases with detailed explanations:

The older we are, the lazier these organs will become. Sports activity and massage will help to make those organs excrete those toxins. A clean gutt is very important as well. Big deposit of Sludge stays on the gutts, these makes the belly bigger. A good way of cleaning the gutt is by taking in antioxidant foods, plus excercise and lots of water. One of the best antioxidants are carrots, brown asian pear, pineapple, and lots more.

Lol I wish, to quote Rusty from Ocean's 11..slightly more complicated than that.

I'm a zombie Lure - came back from the dead to give another stab at life. Appreciate the thought though.
 
ive always enjoyed the irony of smokers telling me eating great lakes fish is bad
haha yup
 
If you drink and cook with the tapwater - you may as well eat the fish. Because the bio accumulation of various toxic/harmful nasties increases in concentration over the years within the fish - it certainly isn't the greatest however if you live in the city and breathe the air here I'm sure its just as bad. Whats good or bad these days anyways? Few years back vegetarianism was all the hype and today I'm told not to eat grapes because of the sulfates? One thing for sure is eat the smaller fish and cut out the fat deposits. Bon apetit!
 
people eat walleye from lake o, people eat pike and bass from lake o, i see people taking steelies all the time from lake o, they are edible, a lot of the toxin poisoning is bullcrap, IMHO, g-bay fish also has toxins, its the smoke factories and crap on the west side of lake o, the further east you are on lake o, the more edible the fish are.
