Study Recommends Fish Eating in Pregnancy, Avoiding Mercury

Scientists based at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School for Public Health recently published a study which assessed the relationship between fish eating and mercury levels during pregnancy and the subsequent brain function in children who were the result of those pregnancies.

The scientists in this research assessed the fish intake of 341 women in the second trimester (middle three months) of pregnancy. They also measured blood levels of mercury in these women. The children born to these women were assessed at the age of three with tests of vocabulary and visual motor abilities.
