Mercury in Fish
I found a link to tables showing the comparative mercury levels for various
fish. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/sea-mehg.html I was surprised to see that while fresh tuna is moderately high on the list, canned tuna is much lower and safer. I was also surprised to read at the FDA website that the problem is not pure mercury, but "methylmercury." |
