What are the EPA and FDA advice for fish and shellfish intake?

The recommendations given by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are: Do not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel or tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury. Select fish that are lower in mercury (shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish and eat no more than 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of selected fish. Do not eat more than 6 ounces of tuna per week, and if tuna is eaten, do not consume other fish during the same week.

Because the popular albacore “white” tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna, it’s important to be particularly careful about intake of this type of fish. If fish is caught in local waters, eat no more than 6 ounces of the fish per week, and do not consume any other fish during that same week. While the EPA and FDA qualify these guidelines as being for childbearing women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children, we believe all people must be cautious and consider these warnings to avoid the buildup of toxins in the body.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
