EATING FISH WHILE PREGNANT
"I know fish is healthy to eat during pregnancy and breastfeeding in order to get omega-3 fats, but I heard that fish is contaminated with mercury, and that this can harm the baby. What should I do?"
What is the worry about mercury and fish? Recently the FDA revealed
that shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and tuna fish contain
higher levels of mercury and other harmful metals than do other
fish. This is because these fish tend to live a long time before
they are caught, thus allowing more pollutants to get into their
tissues. These pollutants may be harmful to a developing fetus.
What fish is safe to eat? Salmon has the highest level of DHA
(the most important healthy fat) and other omega-3's, and is one of
the least contaminated fish. Tuna (not canned tuna) also has lots
of DHA, but may also be more polluted. You CAN eat tuna and the
other fish mentioned above, but you should only do so once or twice
a month so you don't overload your system. Do not make any of the
contaminated fish a routine part of your diet.
I recommend all pregnant and breastfeeding moms eat fish and
eggs several times a week to make sure their developing babies get
enough DHA and other omega-3's. Alternatively, you can take DHA
and omega-3 oil capsules available at vitamin stores.
