Are you getting the omega-3s you need for your child's brain development and a healthy heart? How about the selenium required for good immune response and brain function? If you eat ocean fish, you get these benefits. But here is the final question: Do you need to worry about mercury?

Fish really is brain food! Fish, Mercury, and Nutrition: The Net Effects presents the many benefits of eating ocean fish and the risk of mercury exposure for the population with the most to gain (or lose): unborn and young children. Pregnant and nursing moms will learn why two ocean fish meals a week during the critical window of development can safely give their babies lifelong benefits. The rest of the population also benefits by including ocean fish in their healthy diets.
