thw whole mercury thing confused me. When my sister was pregnant with #1 she was told to eat alot of fish and that mercury wasn't a problem and then when she was pregnant with #2 (only 6 months later) she was told it was bad

They change their minds on this. It isn't bad in moderation but it isn't something you should be consuming every day.

my dr. said no more than 6 oz of fish a week.

What kind of fish?

anything with high mercury levels..

large fish are higher in mercury.
Such as Tuna, shark, and sword fish.

I lerve tuna and eel!! Yummmm!!

eww fish lol

I was told to only eat tuna approx 3 or 4 times a week (I think.. I hate it anyway so I didn't pay too much attention) & to avoid eating shark, merlin & swordfish altogether.

I'm not really a big fan of fish but with stephens recent heart attack we have to try and cut down on certain foods and add in a few good ones.

Thanks for your help!!
