Yes I am concerned, but I rather die from water pollution than from my depression.
It is important to buy fish from 'safe' fishing areas. I try to eat only northern atlantic fish, since it is considered safe.
It is really upsetting how some industries pollute our water just to optimize their profit.From a the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) panel in St. Louis:
"I would recommend eating fish 4-7 times a week. The evidence still suggests that seafood plays a role in reducing coronary heart disease - and new studies suggest that it may reduce the onset of Alzheimer's as well as other mental illnesses.
What people hear about the hypothetical risk of eating fish laced with contaminants bears little relation to the scientific evidence.
10-year study of more than 700 children living in the Seychelles Islands. The children's mothers averaged 12 meals of fish a week - about 10 times the average fish consumption of individuals in the United States - and those fish contained high levels of methylmercury.
Yet cognitive tests on the children, taken multiple times over the years, found no cognitive defects or other maladies normally attributed to mercury absorption.
If seafood consumption continues to rise, the demand may overcome the supply. And despite rapid growth, aquaculture has yet to fill the gap."
