Fish is a potential source of mercury but a far greater source are amalgam dental fillings, those silver fillings that contain 45% to 50% mercury. Your dentist will probably tell you that the mercury is locked in. That is NOT true. Got to http://iaomt.org/videos/ and click on the movie clip. It shows how mercury out gasses constantly into your mouth.
Removal of this type of filling is very important but your typical dentist is not equipped to do this procedure safely.

I am absolutely convinced that the level of mercury one is exposed to by eating fish is no where near the daily dose you get from dental amalgam vapors when chewing(friction) and/or eating/drinking hot foodstuff. Placing blame on the fish simply shifts the attention from the real problem...I have recognized over the years that as soon as the fingers are pointed at the dental profession, the media spins it back to fish contamination. The ADA union is no different than the AMA...watch out for smoke and mirror tactics.

Most smaller fish, like sardines and even wild-caught salmon have very low levels of mercury and should be safe to eat. Both sardines and salmon are high in good quality EPA and DHA omega-3 fats. However, as Dr Mercola says, avoid farmed fish because they often have other pollutants and are not fed a natural diet.

my FIL has health issues for the past 9 years including luekemia and prostate cancer (2x) and shingles (ongoing) We have tried many times to get him to build his immune system naturally by taking fish oil. Just now because a nurse at the dr's office suggested it, is he finally taking fish oil capsules. Unfortunately, he's buying them at GNC. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get him to upgrade?

Thanks

Anyone want to invest in a "fish extraction" company? Grind up the fish, extract the the oil and separate out the heavy metal and toxic waste. Ship the toxic waste to China for disposal (they can then recycle it back to us in other products). Sell the fish oil for profit. Add HFCS back into the fish waste and sell it for a profit as well. Maybe add in a little caffeine for extra energy.

Too bad we just can't eat the fish.

Once again, non experts in medicine, GUESSING (per last quote in the article) about nutrition and preventative caloric intake protocols, they have no training in.

Ask yourselves the Occum's Razor question: Is Mercury, in sea food, or for that matter pharmaceutical vaccines, dangerous? I think most would agree mercury ingestion are any level is not a healthy or good thing.

HOWEVER, should one, in a blanket fashion, avoid natural seafood intake? I think not.

Interesting, it does not suggest to get your omega 3's from Krill oil, it makes it sound like fish are the only source of omega 3's in the diet.
