Is it unhealthy to eat Fresh Alaskan Salmon everyday?!


Question:

Is it unhealthy to eat Fresh Alaskan Salmon everyday?

Well maybe not everyday, but if we were to eat non farmed Salmon like 2-4 times a week, someone told me this has too much mercury. Is that true?

I don't eat any other meat then fish... and I love salmon.


Answers:

Some fish have been known to have high levels of mercury. Salmon is considered to have low levels. However, the mercury acts as a posion within the bloodstream and does major damage. I wouldn't take the chance. The FDA states that no more than 2 x a week would probably be safe for low mercury fish. This site I am including tells you more about which salmon are better and about the effects of mercury.
