It’s been all over the web and twitter today but I just wanted to make sure anyone reporting on health and nutrition who’s checking in has seen the latest. A Harvard University Study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine adds to the overwhelming library of current, independent, peer reviewed science that says, mercury exposure from eating fish doesn't raise your risk of heart disease.
Reporters need to keep up to date with the latest science so when the Sea Turtle Restoration Project folks at GotMercury? go on tirades of distortion there’s this little nugget of independent Harvard research to refer to.
Oh and as a side note I noticed there’s plenty of mentions of the study in mainstream media like the LA Times, Seattle Times, CNN, and WebMD—you can’t throw a stick and not hit this story— but no mention from the Sea Turtle campaigners at GotMercury?
Hmmmm, that’s odd: face sand. Insert head.
