These fish test high for mercury… are you poisoning yourself at dinner?

(Natural News) When you hear about the many health benefits you can enjoy when you consume lots of fish –particularly omega-3 fatty acids – it’s tempting to try to eat as much of it as possible. However, one issue that is holding many people back from upping their fish intake is mercury contamination.
Mercury is toxic, poisoning your nervous system and kidneys, and exposure to it is a serious health problem. Even small amounts of the heavy metal are dangerous, which is why exposure is especially risky among women of childbearing age and young children. The EPA estimates that at least 75,000 babies are born every year with higher risk of learning disabilities on account of their mother’s mercury exposure.
