VITAMIN C DOSES, SHELLFISH DON`T MIX
Jon Van CHICAGO TRIBUNE
August 25, 1985
[....] Several foods, especially shrimp and prawns, may contain high concentrations of such arsenic compounds.

Uh,
huh.
The story
fails not only to identify the
source(s) of the
shrimp or
prawns, but also of the
arsenic. It's really unforgivable in reporting to omit the
who,
what,
when,
where, thus the
why, for an alarming story like this. It looks like a
lazy editing-down of an I.U. press release.
• Is it farmed shrimp, or wild-caught?
• Where was it harvested & processed?
• Is it the result of a polluted environment, for which Red China (and operations it owns) is notorious?
• Is a long overlooked natural defense mechanism in shrimp?
• Where's a link or citation of that I.U. study "by Gail Czarnecki, David Baker and John Garst"?
And for now:
• What's been learned in the
35 years since "
1985"?
Useful responses from the
fishing industry for the crucial information that the
Tribune writers were too clueless to track down, will be nearly
35 years in the past. The
Orlando Sentinel is a Tribune-Corp. paper, and reprints lots of the flagship paper's content, but it could be quite a challenge to unearth a response back then from the open-water shrimp fishermen on the Central Florida coast.
