Saw it, but I do believe it's rare in the states; much more prominent in Asia.

true nuff but again she did eat over 12 servings a week
anyone that does that should be aware
and perhaps bring it up next time at the doctors office
yes it is very high in coastal regions in the states
and i did mention fish livers high in omegas but also higher in mercury

My problem is that the FDA has not posted warning labels on canned tuna and/or all fish goods that have this problem. I think it should be a requirement.

yes
it should
but for some reason when canned tuna was tested for mercury it registered a very low level
odd

I saw one of the studies on canned tuna and their control group was a batch of 20 which is not much at all. In these cases I always recommend research material to be at least in 100s or possibly thousands.

US fish may be (suite) safe

but, with globalization, you can find food from anywhere in the world, ie in countries where seas are much more poluted
and if the controls are not serious enough you can end by eating some big shit

A good example is Hawaii where fish - ironically - is brought from Asian. Level of mercury in an average Hawai'i fish = 4x the regular US.
