Personally, I'm an advocate of wild fatty fish consumption in moderation. I'm also (of course) in favor of fish oil supplementation. Great comments all of you - I don't think there is a "perfect" answer here, unfortunately. I did see that, Amanda. Personally, I’m an advocate of wild fatty fish consumption in moderation.

On top of that, the American Association of Pediatrics, the March of Dimes, and most of the other respectable organizations involved with the HMHB coalition have said they don't support the new recommendation. Omega 3s are definitely important, and eating up to 12 ounces of low-mercury fish during pregnancy is one thing, but unlimited amounts? Sounds fishy to me!

Heavy metal detox is not something that can be done with fruits and veggies. Eat farmed raised fish and add in fish oil supplementation that is mercury free. Eating and poisoning yourself with heavy metals is one thing....if you are caring for another life (aka a baby) you are 100% responsible to make it as healthy as possible. Brain disorders and autism are ever increasing....possibly due to lots of toxins, heavy metals and deficient omega 3s for brain development.

Why not eat small oily fish to reduce bio-polu's and stop fretting about every little thing. it started to go down hill 40000 yrs ago when we became efficient hunters ! we is likely already suffused with mercury anyways so it might be a mute point.
