If there is a theoretical limit at which potential harm from mercury might exceed omega-3s, it’s probably far higher than what we’re seeing now. The idea that you’re going to eat a fish meal as an adult and that it’s going to give you net cardiovascular harm is just not supported by the current evidence.
Our oceans are poluted to the extent where some of the healthiest foods are becoming poisonous. It is general knowledge that omega 3 fatty acids from fish like tuna have quantifiable benefits to our cardiovascular systems. At what point will the balance weigh against the consumption of seafood contaminated by mercury? Will that tipping point ever be reached? I am shaking my bottle of flax seed oil, thankful that at least other options will be available.
