Researchers have developed a new model to help guide recommendations and improve evidence-based advice on the risks and benefits of fish consumption, particularly during pregnancy.
In a study published in The American Journal of Epidemiology, scientists from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, University of Rochester Medical Center, and Cornell University introduced a framework that considers the average mercury content in fish. This model helps balance the harmful effects of mercury against the nutritional benefits of fish, providing clearer guidance on safe fish consumption.
Methylmercury (MeHg) exposure can harm brain development. However, fish also contain many nutrients that are good for brain development, like polyunsaturated fatty acids, selenium, iodine, and vitamin D.
