I wanted to let BlogHer readers know I just posted an article about the problem of mercury in fish, and a new company that is testing and labeling fish, and making it available for grocery stores to sell.
I interviewed the CEO of Safe Harbor Malcolm Wittenberg, who shared how he feels the FDA guidelines are not enough to protect us from the high amounts of mercury in most fish.
He said, "Mercury is known to cause severe health problems in humans, such as nervous disorders, cardiovascular disease and reproductive problems. Mercury has been connected to Autism and Alzheimer’s, among many other brain-related maladies. Due to insufficient government standards and lax enforcement, a high proportion of seafood consumed in the U.S. contains potentially dangerous levels of mercury."
