For reference this is a very 1-sided bias site that doesn't have any contrast in it ... sorta seems like
but anyways I'll try to explain my stance further.
Just don't eat fish.. it's that simple.. hahahaha
The math for a 0.24ppm fish, comes out to 24.28 Grams of fish PER DAY, any more would blow the maximum allowable mercury consumption set by the EPA.
If you ate 170 grams of this fish, (a serving), you'll be at the maximum allowable (per Week).
Who eats so little ?
1. Even in the biased linked article it says that they use a per week amount because its not expected or recommended to eat a full serving of fish daily. Balance is key in a diet and no I am not saying fish is a some magic super healthy food that should be eaten every day. In canada their recommendation is 2 servings of 75g a week, in the FDA-EPA guidelines they specify further what to avoid and what is more acceptable intake.
2. If you are so worried about the ppm levels of mercury, there is lots of choices and in an EPA-FDA guideline (updated in 2017) that have _way_ less than .24ppm. A sortable table is found here with multiple seafood options with concentrations <0.24ppm.
And given how Giagantic a leap you can exceed the allowable mercury consumption depending on WHICH fish you eat and WHERE it came from.. There's simply no predictable way to eat Safe_Fish.
They don't sell a meter so consumers can measure the fish they buy.. It's not a safe food.
This has to due with being a responsible consumer. If you don't want to take the time to put in the research into your options that's your lifestyle choice. You mentioned in another thread GMOs, tons of people don't care or don't take the time to look out for GMO foods, if you do is it really such a stretch to look into where your food is coming from? There is lots of information on what to look for and what to avoid in buying fish.
It's also important to keep in mind, that the Limit EPA sets is not an Aspirational goal for people to meet,
Ideally you want as little mercury exposure as possible.
1. It's also important to keep in mind the EPA is only looking at the negative risks of mercury consumption, they don't look at the beneficial aspects of eating fish at all because its not the purpose of their study. For more contrast on the subject the FDA-EPA advice does focus on both the pros and cons. It's also up to date and peer reviewed and Id say is a good source on the topic.
You can find it here.Ideally, you want to limit exposure to anything toxic in your diet obviously, But does that mean you'll avoid apples because of trace arsenic? tons of food with trace cyanide? Again its your life so if you want to live in absolute fear of anything with trace toxicity you'll find yourself with really not much available for a sustainable and truly healthy diet.
