FDA agreed with
EPA and now recommends that
all pregnant women avoid fish as up to 10 percent of them have high
enough mercury levels to cause neurodevelopmental defects in their
children. So fish oils are
next best alternative. Although some of
them are old fish and even
inners are sqeezed for
oil so be
sure you know where
fish oil comes from.
So make salmon a part of your diet at least this month buy Copper River wild salmon from Alaska then go back to taking salmon oil capsules and
eating canned salmon for
rest of
year.Avoid fish that are more likely to contain mercury including swordfish, shark, tuna, king mackerel and lobster. Limit canned tuna, and if you're not sure about a fish, don't eat it.Shop in conscientious markets that include sustainability in their mission. Talk to
fish guy or gal; find out where their fish comes from and what their policies are. At least that is what I got out of all I read this month on salmon and fish oil supplements.
