Mercury in fish: concerns shouldn't dampen your appetite

Article Abstract:

Fish remains a safe and healthy part of one's diet, despite growing concern about their mercury levels. Mercury in bodies of water can be converted by bacteria into methyl mercury, which can be ingested by fish as they feed. However, few types of fish have mercury levels that exceed the FDA's safety limit of 1 part per million.
