[#0000FF]I have searched high and low for PCB studies...fish related...that provide solid lab tested information on just what levels of that substance are deadly...and why and how. Can't find it.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]As others have pointed out, there are innumerable folks in Utah who have been regularly consuming multiple species from Utah Lake...for decades...and have never developed any conditions attributable to PCBs...or any other potential nasty stuff in Utah Lake. I'm one of them. In my advanced years my annual wellness checkups show nothing in my blood or body which might indicate consumption of harmful substances over a prolonged period. Never mind the third eye in the forehead and that pesky glow in the dark thing that keeps me awake at night.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I am glad our otherwise careless watchdogs are nice enough to warn us that there MIGHT be consequences from excessive consumption of large old catfish and carp. Personally, I would like to see more attention paid to protecting the public from intake of alcohol, tobacco and harmful pharmaceuticals. No question on those things. They can and do kill people. But PCBs do not have legions of highly paid lobbyists protecting them from negative news.
