A Word of Caution on Mercury |
|
Text 
|
While it is recommended to eat one to two fish meals a week, it is wise to avoid fish high in mercury. Excess mercury appears to affect the nervous system, causing: numb or tingling fingers, lips and toes; developmental delays in walking and talking in children; muscle and joint pain; increased risk of heart attack. Fish high in mercury include shark, swordfish (broadbill) and marlin, ray, gem fish, ling, orange roughy (sea perch) and southern blue fin tuna. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, women planning pregnancy and children up to six years old should avoid these fish. If catching and eating your own fish, don't fish in polluted waters. Bottom feeder species, such as catfish, may ingest more pollutants. |

Posted on: 03/03/2011 =eating fish foods is good, but NOT lots of it as you said, the total calories have GOT to be kept in mind!!! Fish like any food may be alergenic to persons who are intolerant of that food or medicine or whatever.== Ravi,fish do NOT have antiBiotics inside......=animal foods shd be cut down to the bare minimum, for various reasons we all know.
