Fishy Report

Newsflash: Moms-to-be, eating fish will not retard your children. A long-term study reported in Lancet gives the all-clear to eating fish. The backlash that the fear of mercury consumption resulted in pregnant women eating no fish, actually led to dumber kids. (I'm obviously paraphrasing, but you get the idea). So, eat up that salmon! Dig in to a tuna fish sandwich! Seems to me that the commonsense approach of not overdoing it ( a glass of wine, a cup of coffee, a piece of fish) is not going to do any harm, and may even do good.
