Have you tried fresh squeezed orange juice. (The kind you squeeze yourself with

the pulp included). I can drink that but not the kind available in the markets.

A website which discusses mercury in fish and safety of fish is at:

>You should only eat fish 2 times a week. I was on a site the other day, I

THINK it was the CDC site and it had a list of fish and their mercury content.

Salmon had the letters NP nest to it and so did one other fish but the others

had a mercury amount. I was assuming that salmon was low since it had no number

next to it. Do not get cod liver oil. Its not a good one. Get one that has

salmon oil in it or another fish thats low mercury.

Thanks for that link! I knew that tuna was high in mercury because

when I was pregnant in the summer the doctor told me NOT to eat

tuna. I know salmon is good, but actually I don't like it that

much. The last time I made it I actually used a recipe that called

for barbeque sauce and that wasn't too bad. I love tilapia though.

I was always thinking that shrimp was high in mercury, so I was glad

to find out that it wasn't.

The problem with salmon is that most of it is farmed. Farmed salmon

is very dangerous due to the levels of pesticides, hormones, and

color added to it. If you are going to eat salmon, only eat wild

Alaskan salmon, which if you can't find it fresh, you can eat

canned. I take a supplement of salmon oil that is certified to have

very to be nearly pesticide free by independent laboratory testing.

If you are interested in the link, let me know and I will provide

it. Also, the type of Omega-3 found in fish (long chain fatty acid)

is generally considered more beneficial than the type found in flax

or walnuts.
