Leading Faroese medical expert warns against eating whale meat

Dr. Weihe has been studying the effects of eating pilot whale meat in over 2,300 Faroese children and their mothers since 1984,
and concludes that the contaminants in the whale meat and blubber increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis,
and even cognitive deficiencies in children with prenatal exposure to methylmercury.
In 2011 the Faroese government supported the Faroese Food and Veterinary Authority when it stated that adults should eat one meal of pilot whale meat and blubber per month.
However, in a move that seems to trump his own government’s advice, Dr. Weihe said; "The medical profession in the Faroes is recommending not to eat [pilot whale meat] at all."
