Fishing Industry Paying for Study Whose Conclusion is that Women Should Eat more Fish!

The mercury is rising in our seas, and mostly the arguments seem to be, is there enough mercury in seafood to make you ill, what's the science behind all this, etc. Instead of concentrating on issues like WHY is seafood contaminated , what's the deal with factory farming of fish, and why are we allowing the seas to become overfished?

I see there's a whole spate of articles on seafood isn't THAT bad for you, or this is just another silly health scare, etc. But you might want to think about where these stories are coming from.
