April 23, 2012 Eat More Fish If you are reluctant to include too much fish into your meals because of potential health risks, you are not alone. Dariush Mozaffarian of the Harvard School of Public Health notes that people tend to be more frightened by the threat of a harm than encouraged by the promise of a benefit. .People get confused; they get the wrong message.. And this confusion is for good reason. For example, take our Food of the Week, Salmon. According to the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, salmon is low in mercury and safe even for pregnant women. Yet the Environmental Defense Fund, an advocacy group, recommends that all adults — not just pregnant women — limit wild salmon (except for Alaskan) to one serving per month and farmed salmon to no more than two, because of PCB contamination. While we are well aware of the risk involved with high mercury content and PCB levels in fish, we should be equally aware that some organizations take only these risks into consideration when making their fish intake recommendations. Other organizations such as the Institute of Medicine and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (working with the World Health Organization FAO/WHO) have taken the approach of weighing the risks against the benefits. Their recommendations were very similar to those of the FDA and EPA: For pregnant women, they advise eating up to 12 ounces of fish per week, focusing on low-mercury fish, such as salmon, and avoiding the four highest-mercury fish (swordfish, shark, tilefish and king mackerel). According to Mozaffarian, a member of the FAO/WHO panel, "As long as you're not a pregnant woman, the evidence suggests that the balance is always toward net benefit." The benefits of eating fish are mostly associated with the omega-3 fatty acids found in most fish. Omega-3s have become most well known for reducing the risk of heart disease and, in the case of pregnant women, improved brain development in fetuses and young children. But omega-3s have numerous other benefits, ranging from reduced risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke, promoting bone health and elevating mood. For more read Why should I include fish in my diet?. I recommend eating low mercury, high omega-3, wild caught fish 2 times per week. I believe a good rule of thumb when it comes to eating more fish is to mix up your species, and include smaller, bottom-of-the-food-chain fish, like sardines. Select fish, such as wild caught Alaskan salmon, which is known to be low in mercury content. Other fish included in this group are Pacific flounder and sole, canned sardines, and anchovies. If pregnant, follow the FDA/EPA guidelines. Learn a New and Better Way of Cooking Salmon that Tastes Great!

Salmon Did you know that researchers believe that about 60% of Americans are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, and about 20% have so little that tests cannot even detect any in their blood? The list of benefits derived from omega-3s is long and impressive, ranging from improving cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of stroke to acting as anti-inflammatory agents and improving bone density. Recent studies are finding increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids may also help decrease the risk of Alzheimer.s disease. As study after study reveals the importance of these essential fatty acids, we also are becoming increasingly aware that they are not readily available in many of the foods that we eat. Cold water fish, such as salmon, are some of the best sources. Not only does salmon provide a host of healthy benefits, it tastes great! Late spring is the beginning of the salmon season.
