Safer seafood
Confused by all the studies about whether fish is good for you or bad for you? Even more confused on which type of fish are safe for your kids to eat?
Several environmental groups now produce fish guides with detailed information on contaminants in types of seafood, and which ones are ocean-friendly or not.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes a fish guide, and the groups SeaWeb and Environmental Defense just made it easier by publishing a guide on safe fish consumption for kids at www.kidsafeseafood.org.
Beth Trask, program manager at SeaWeb, says the guide uses federal recommendations for fish consumption that are adjusted to children’s average body weight.
