Now that’s a good question. We all need more omega3 fatty acids in our diet, but should we eat fish. Fish is contaminated with mercury.

And if eating fish is a bad idea because of the mercury, how else do you get that Omega3 in your diet?

There are other places to find Omega3 fatty acids, like some plant sources, but by far the best place to find the right types of Omega3 is fish.

But there is a problem with eating fish isn’t there? What about mercury contamination? Isn’t fish contaminated with mercury?

And you don’t want to be getting mercury in your body do you? It’s not something that your body gets rid of, and it’s not good for children in particular.

But notwithstanding, the EPA doesn’t tell us to remove fish from our diet. Fish is ok in small quantities and they do offer some guidelines for how much, and what type, you should eat.

2 serves a week is fine, but for children and pregnant women they do offer some more guidelines about the types of fish to avoid.

But that doesn’t answer our question, should you eat fish for your Omega3 fatty acids? Because there’s another problem. Fish is scarce and getting scarcer, so it’s expensive.

And although the EPA says its ok to eat it, if youre eating fish to get your Omega3 then there is a better way. Of course if you just love fish then go for it.

And there is still mercury in fish, albeit in small amounts, and there is a solution to getting your Omega3 that doesnt involve eating fish, that is cheaper than buying fish a couple of times a week, and overcomes the problem with mercury contamination.
