from ideal, beneficial 3:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio to a ratio far

closer to 20:1 found in commercially-raised beef.

Several weeks ago 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.
