¿De verdad los metales pesados del pescado son preocupantes?
Summary
Pau Ninja argues that the fear of mercury in fish is overblown, noting that selenium in most fish neutralizes the toxin and that dental amalgams pose a greater risk. He highlights that avoiding fish deprives people of essential EPA and DHA, which are crucial for brain health and difficult to obtain elsewhere. While acknowledging higher mercury levels in large predatory fish, he advocates for consuming smaller fish and salmon roe, suggesting that modern lifestyle factors and nutrient deficiencies are more significant health concerns than dietary mercury.
