Sushi and mercury

MercuryTuna

 

I hate to send you to another paper, so please come back after you read this article from the New York Times today on dangerous levels of mercury found in tuna sushi from NYC restaurants.

More fuel for my love/hate relationship with raw fish.

The National  Fisheries Institute has sent out an outraged press release saying: ...

 

 

"In a poorly-sourced, sensational article in this morning’s New York Times, reporter Marian Burros presents a distorted report on sushi and seafood that is at odds with widely accepted science. The story is unreliable and contradicts broadly-held medical advice that tuna and other kinds of fish are an essential part of a healthy diet."

Details can be found on the institute's Web site
