Fish for thought
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Pregnant women, nursing mothers and women who want to become pregnant are told to limit the amount of fish they eat. The mercury contained in some fish — especially shark, swordfish and king mackerel — may be harmful to their fetuses.

Or would you rather have the heart-healthy benefits the fish contain?
