The EPA along with the Fish/Game and Wild Life organizations would have you believe that a little mercury in your fish is ok, but before you buy that hook line and sinker, consider the following health risks.

Negative effects on the reproductive system, fertility, neurological problems, lowered muscular strength, head aches, memory loss, difficulty coordinating movement and vision, dizziness, metal taste in the mouth, muscle spasms, pain and stiffness in the joints and muscles, nervous heart, very weak or very strong heart rate, and even death.

In pregnant women, exposure to small amount of methyl mercury can interfere with normal brain development of the developing child causing permanent learning disabilities. It may cause coordination problems, delayed walking, attention problems (ADD is fast becoming an epidemic, wonder why?), memory impairments and problems with language skills. Higher exposure can cause mental retardation and birth defects.

In recent studies, plant life was found to have a mere .02 ppm contamination compounds of mercury and other toxins, the insects and worms showed .06 ppm, then the rodents and snakes jumped significantly to 50., the fish jumped to a staggering 900. ppm. The toxins build up in the fatty tissues and unless the body has a significant time period free from additional toxins entering the body, it will just keep building and building.

Is that acceptable to you? It wasn’t for me, so I researched the alternatives to gaining the nutritional values found in fish, the most important being the heart healthy Omega-3.

The following are the best plant based sources of these vital fatty acids;

Flaxseed Oil – 1T = 7,526 mg
Walnuts – ¼ C = 1,703 mg
Wheat Germ Oil – 1T = 938 mg
Soybean Oil – 1T = 927 mg
Green Soybeans – 1C = 637 mg
Almonds – ¼ C = 136 mg
California Avocado – ½ C = 99 mg
Safflower Oil – 1T = 55 mg
1 Banana – 38 mg
1 Med Apple W/Peel – 25 mg
1 Slice Whole Wheat Bread – 11 mg



 One tablespoon per day of flaxseed oil should provide the recommended daily adult portion of linolenic acid, although "time-released" effects of consuming nuts and other linolenic-rich foods is being studied, and considered more beneficial than a once-daily oil intake.
 Flaxseed oil used for dietary supplementation should be kept in the refrigerator or freezer, and purchased from a supplier who refrigerates the liquid as well.
 Unripe flaxseeds contain a natural form of cyanide, and home gardeners should be cautious if trying to grow flax. The seeds must be ripe before harvesting. If attempting to grow flax at home, consult an experienced grower.

Delicious Recipe:

Flax-Nut Sprinkle

¼ cup (2/3 dl) Walnuts, ground
¼ cup (2/3 dl) Flax seed meal
1 Tbs Date sugar or brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt

Mix and serve over toast, cereal, etc. Note: If you use the whole flax seed, use only ¼ cup (2/3 dl) and grind it in a coffee grinder to give you ½ cup (1 1/3 dl) of flax meal. Store in a tight container, refrigerate and use as needed.

Bon Appetite!
