    Fish List – Which Fish to Eat and not to Eat

      Environmental Working Group’s

      FISH LIST

      * Shrimp fishing and farming practices have raised

      serious environmental concerns.

      ** Farmed catfish have low mercury levels but may

      contain PCBs in amounts of concern for pregnant women.

      AVOID IF PREGNANT:

      Shark

      Swordfish

      King mackerel

      Tilefish

      Tuna Steaks

      Canned tuna

      Sea bass

      Gulf Coast oysters

      Marlin

      Halibut

      Pike

      Walleye

      White croaker

      Largemouth bass

      EAT NO MORE THAN

      ONE SERVING PER MONTH:

      Mahi mahi

      Blue mussel

      Eastern oyster

      Cod

      Pollock

      Great Lakes salmon

      Gulf Coast blue crab

      Channel catfish (wild)**

      Lake whitefish

      Porgy

      Orange Roughy

      Snapper

      Lake trout

      Bluefish

      Gontino

      Rockfish

       Government studies show that one of every six

      pregnant women in the U.S. will give birth to a baby

      whose blood is contaminated with mercury at levels

      above the federal safety standard. Emitted from

      coal-fired power plants and other sources, the pollutant

      builds up in some types of seafood. Nutrients in fish

      can be vital for a baby’s brain development, but too

      much mercury can cause lasting brain damage.

      To supplement FDA’s consumer advisories, which don’t

      adequately protect the public, EWG evaluated mercury

      tests from seven government programs and published

      this list to help women choose safer seafood during

      pregnancy. This is, in fact, an important guide for everyone,

      as mercury poses a risk to the immune system and

      heart, even at low levels. For more information, see our

          7-Refined Sugar

          A healthy adult has approx 5 liters of blood circulating at any given moment and needs 1 teaspoon of sugar available during a fasting state. That’s all the body needs to function.

          12-ounces of soda or energy drinks typically contain approx 10 tsp of sugar. That raises the blood sugar 10x above what the body needs to function and typically within a matter of minutes.

           

          1 Teaspoon of Sugar = Approx 4 Grams of Sugar

          Take the total grams of refined sugar & divide by 4 to learn how many teaspoons of sugar you are consuming per serving.

          8-Naturally sweet:

          Think Real food

          9- Fiber: 8-12 grams  per meal.  Average 25-30 grams a day.
