I have been concerned about the issue being discussed about mercury,
especially since my daughter just got married and  will be growing my
grandchildren in a few years. ( hopefully several years away!). She has been
a vegetarian since age 12 but since she haas been dating  and now married to
a fisherman, she has added fish to her diet-for about a year. They eat fish
from the ocean several times a week-yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, king makarel,
bluefish, sea bass, etc. Sometimes they eat it raw
( being Southern I tend to think of it as bait but she refers to it as sushi!
). I now need to share this infomration with her about restricting her
intake. My husband has beenmy  sounding board as I have been reading this
information to him and now he is wondering, how does mercury affect a man?
Does it affect his offspring?
This issue even got his attention away from the baseball game!!!
