Since we are eating more fish these days I thought everyone might find this info helpful. The latest Natural Health magazine has a good article on fish. AVOID due to high mercury content: swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish. OK once a month: tuna steaks, red snapper, orange roughy and halibut. OK once a week: crab, cod, mahi mahi, canned tuna. The safest fish for everyone is: salmon, shrimp, farm faised channel carfish, rainbow trout, flounder, perch, tilapia, clams, scallops and red crayfish. One study showed some farm raised salmon high in chemicals (PCB's) so wild salmon is preferred. Atlantic cold water salmon!!! Farm raised salmon also has dye injected to make it pink. Interesting! A good web site to check out is www.cfsan.fda.gov artist

Thanks so much! I love fish but I've been reading the "scary" articles. This list is really helpful...

_Consumer Reports_ also published an article about mercury levels in fish, July of this year, with a little chart on p. 32 that I carry around in my purse for help with grocery shopping.

I was glad to see the post about fish but, scary articles? where? OH no!
The doctors took away my beef now the scientists are trying to take away my fish! I'm gonna starve. Pretty soon the only thing left to eat will be millworms and rice.

LOL! And wild Alaskan salmon when it's on sale for an affordable price. And organic chicken breasts, ditto. And mushrooms, they're actually a very good source of protein--I think of them that way now, instead of as a vegetable. And soy yogurts for lunches--WholeSoy is very good, and if you choose blueberry, blueberries have the highest levels of antioxidants of any fruit. And scrambled egg substitute with a side of Heather's garlic home fries (my new favorite food).
