Inhaltsangabe

Seafood is promoted as part of a healthy diet, yet consumers are warned about possible contamination by mercury and other toxic chemicals. Representing Institute of Medicine public meetings held in 2005, this volume addresses these conflicting messages. After discussing dietary patterns and seafood composition, committee chair Nesheim (Cornell U.) and study director Yaktine offer a balanced analysis for consumer decision-making of seafood's health benefits and risks compared to other sources of these nutrients. The volume includes recommendations, safety levels per federal oversight agencies, decision-making case scenarios for pregnant women and families, the workshop agendas, and committee member bios.
