Recent laboratory tests found so much mercury in tuna sushi from 20 Manhattan stores and restaurants that at most of them, a regular diet of six pieces a week would exceed the levels considered acceptable by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Sushi from 5 of the 20 places had mercury levels so high that the Food and Drug Administration could take legal action to remove the fish from the market. The sushi was bought by The New York Times in October.

Man, I saw this on the NYT site, and then I looked over at the right rail w/ all the popular stories, and I swear half of them were about how things we eat are going to kill us. Cola and kidney failure, etc. It was horrifying. I'm on rice cakes and spring water from now on.

Tuna, shark and yellowtail are some of the biggest offenders.
My San Francisco doctor (who has large test beds of regular fish-eating clients) has been warning her female clients for 10 years now - based on observation alone - that anyone who wants to have kids at any time in the future should significantly cut back on predator fish consumption.-
