Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hello all Just a heads up in case you weren't aware - I learned in my toxicology class that pregnant women shouldn't consume fish due to their mercury content. Some have high amounts of mercury like tuna and others not so much. I can't remember all the details but you should look into this before going on a fish binge. As for sushi - especially a no-no. I talked to my doc about this and assumed she knew this. She didn't! Boy am I glad for my MS in Biology now! Aaliyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
