All it takes for the human body to go out of whack is one tiny particle. Take a person with an allergy. A few years back, a neighbor's wife -- a kindergarten teacher -- accidently ingested a sesame seed. She went into shock and almost died. While she came back to work a year later, her health never was the same.

There is a similar concern regarding many chemicals and elements like mercury having an impact on human health. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has done pioneering work on mercury's impact.

Now do you understand why I don't think a "Democrat" should be calling RFK, Jr. an "Asshat"?
