Default Don't Take the Bait-Fish is Not a Health Food - Physicians Committee



This "physician's group" is the public relations wing of peta.

The 4 health "problems" alledged for fish can one and all be found in error
if we took the time to refute them from the medical research literature.
It would be easy to show the great bulk of research says fish is just fine.
Not only fine but having great advantages to one's health.

The only claim having merit among the 4 "problems" is contamination of some
fish. For example the large fish whose diet is smaller fish gather in time
mercury that can sometines be at levels to avoid. So eat smaller fish
species and the problem is solved.

It is only some species such as the largest tuna variets and others which
have this potential risk. Even then any health problem can be avoided by
limited use of them. Doctors suggest not having more then one serving of
these large fish a week to avoid the potential problem.
