Guest guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Quite expensive. I doubt this prescription is any better than top quality professional brands. They just run this stuff through insurance companies and jack up the price. - Chinese Medicine Chinese Medicine On Behalf Of Docvite Sunday, January 17, 2010 12:11 PM Chinese Medicine Cc: subincor Re: Fish and Mercury If its for humans I take a fish oil from Norway...called Loovaza.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Hugo, Good question. Do an online search for " mercury content of fish " at PubMed Central. Read the first several papers. This one compares research studies with FDA posted listings: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1253750/table/t4-ehp0113-000266/ Then do the same search and focus the search to within the last two years. Keep refining your search in this manner until you find reliable results. Shouldn't take more than a week of work. It's an educational process to see where reliable results can be found. Most sturgeon for instance is farmed these days, so the listed results are not reliable. You need to know the source. When you look up fish on Wikipedia by species and feeding type, you realize quickly that filter feeders have lower mercury content. Larger carnivores have higher mercury content. That's consistent across studies. Sardines are pretty low. Any fish that's farmed is no longer in the loop of a reliable study, and you would have to get individual results for each farmed fish type at each farm.
