racemic ALA works in that aspect as good as r-ALA. The two sulfurs in the carbon ring are responsible for the binding to heavy metals (except lead), and does not depend on the side at which the carbon chain is.

indeed it does, however, r-ala has other benefits to justifying its use over s-ala. but i don't mean to be a pain the ass, i just like to get the biggest bang for my buck.

How can they let canned foods out onto the market that when eaten will easily cause toxicity???
Wait a sec. I have fillings that are over 10 years old... When and did they ever start using low Hg metals?

Metallic fillings are usually a mix of three metals. I believe that mercury is about 50% of the total. The American Dental Association doesn't believe that mercury fillings cause problems, and neither do most people in the dental profession. A good friend of mine who is bodybuilder and a dentist is adamant about this and pointed to a recent study that compared the cancer rate in dentists (most dentists usually have a level of mercury that is 3x that of a normal person) with the rest of the population. My response to him was that cancer is only one disease and that dentists have the highest suicide rate among the professions and that it would be almost impossible to do a study that took quality of life issues into account. We know 2 things: (1) mercury is poisonous and causes health problems, and (2) fillings are a source of mercury. . . that's all I need to know.
W/r/t the tuna/toxicity issue. . . . with some consumer items, (alcohol and cigarettes come to mind) the dangers are obvious and we assume the risk when we use them. In my opinion, with something like tuna, that shouldn't be the case. To me it was a basic item, much like milk and bread is for some people. Its like a slap in the face, trying to be healthy all these years and then finding out your toxic b/c of the healthy choices you thought you were making.

"Dentists have the highest suicide rate among the professions"
I remember in the NYPD we would get talks from the shrinks once in a while. They did say that dentist had the highest suicide rate and I think a librarian was the lower. They associated it with job stress. But mercury poisoning could also be a factor. Messes with the head a little long term.
I guess you can equate mercury in tuna with the overall quality of bottled water. I remember seeing something on TV where they found that many bottled waters were NOT what people thought they were getting.
