epa03297237 (FILE) A file photo dated 30 July 2009 showing Japanese men loading a truck with Baird's beaked whale meat at Wada Port, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) warned 05 July 2012 that eating whale meat is bad for you health. A resolution introduced by Germany and adopted unanimously at the 64th annual IWC meeting in Panama City said that the meat was contaminated with harmful substances. 'Over their many years of life, whales accumulate large amounts of mercury or polychlorinated biphenyl in their bodies,' said Sandra Altherr, a biologist at conservation group Pro Wildlife. Both substances can cause nerve damage and other symptoms. A report by Pro Wildlife has shown links between the consumption of whale meat and such disorders.  EPA/FRANCK ROBICHON
