Mercury Makes Fish Foul, Admits FDA

By Janet Brown | Staff Writer - Vol. 2, No. 1. , 2001

The FDA’s recent warning that pregnant women should reduce their fish consumption because of high mercury levels are good as far as they go. But unfortunately, like many government efforts, they fail to address the real issue: Why is there so much mercury in our oceans?
