Im eating too much fish, i love it in all its forms. I have fresh sushi nearly every day..?

Question

none of the rice just the salmon and tuna with soy and wasabi. I will grill a whole salmon or trout and eat it. Even in the supermarket I stock up on tinned herrings and pilchards, for eating as snacks. My breath is ok folks so dont worry.
My question is that my mummy said I will grow gills and
have to live in water if `I keep on..and I hate water is she winding me up?

P.S. Sorry to ask people on P&S but you are my best friends.

Dont worry about mercury folks I live in Cape town where the Indian, Atlantic. and Antarctic oceans meet there is zero pollution here.

Answer 1

you may want to calm down with the fish, your mercury levels could be high

Answer 2

Don't eat big fish that eat smaller fish that eat smaller fish, because mercury gets concentrated in the huge fish eaters. Tasteless white tuna has lots more mercury than flavorful light tuna does. So does swordfish. Both of these have had warnings against them since the 60's. Sardines and mackerel are dirt cheap and taste great. Same with smelts.

Answer 3

Rice simply by fact I consume it on a daily basis, and could't be totally complete without it. Hispanic(there is greater then merely mexican -_-): 10 (consume spanish nutrition quite everyday) Pizza: 4 BBQ: 8 Italian: 7 Southern: 6 French: one million.5 Sushi: 0 Steak: 9

Answer 4

Well, fish is supposed to help with brain functions and can be very good for you. However, your mercury and metal count could start to rise causing negative neurological effects. It is believed that Autism, Alzheimers and other neurological disorders are caused by having too much metal in your system. Right now autism might not effect you but it could effect your children (if you choose to have them). Alzheimers could effect you later in life. At any rate, slow down on the fish and try other ways of getting protein.

Answer 5

Eat fish, it is good, but don't exagerrate. What you should do is following Medditeranean nutrition. Fish 2 times per week. Okay, 4 times a week. Well, try to intake eggs and meat. And veggies. Eat all in good portions and you will be feeling always healthy.

Answer 6

It's just a case of a temporary craving! This too will pass! Fish is better for you than red meat, so relax and see where this takes you. I'm a big Sushi lover, too. And, I don't eat the rice either, because it just slows me down. I'm still alive.

Answer 7

watch for mercury but my only question is - how much money do you make to be able to afford sushi and herring? last i checked sushi was about 4$ for a single roll and herring from the grocery can run about 5$ a pound.

Answer 8

I think it's more the sources of where the fish comes from. Check these lists out.:

Answer 9

cooked fish is good although you may want to watch your sushi intake as it carries parasites and they crawl around in the brain area, i saw an e mail of an oriental gent that loved it to death, and he had his head cut open due to some movement and headachess, when they cut into his head, there was mass amounts of buggs n worms living there, pictures were very grosse

Answer 10

the fish consuming wont hurt except your getting large amounts of mercury which isnt good for you, try having a non fish appetizer with the fish mix other foods with it get a variety

Answer 11

No. but I'll bet you're about ready to start balancing a ball on your nose. I hear Sea World is looking for a new seal act.
