Seoul - how many octopus heads are safe to eat?

Octopus heads are a favorite dish on the peninsula of South Korea.
But the question is asked, how many octopus heads are safe to eat?

The Seoul city government got all kinds of people mad, especially the restaurateurs and the fishing industry when it proclaimed, octopus heads contained hazardous levels of cadmium, a carcinogen that is poison and affects the liver and kidneys.
So, the advisable amounts are no more than two heads a day.

Well, we hadn't planned on eating any, but thanks for the heads up!
