We need to clean up rivers and oceans anyway
This is great news, though the women in the study have 8-year-olds, meaning they ate fish 9 years ago. Maybe things are worse with respect to mercury now?
In any case, we need to be able to eat fish free of worry about toxins like mercury, which are not naturally occurring in fish, rather the result of seriously polluted rivers and streams and oceans. We need to stop accepting that the responsibility lies with fish-eaters rather we need to make it the responsibilty of the polluters and regulators to clean up.
