Watch Your Fish Intake When Pregnant
, 10 28th, 2008
There’s a good reason doctors tell women not to eat large amounts of fish when they are pregnant. Pollution in our lakes, streams and oceans has led to fish becoming saturated with toxic levels of mercury. Mercury is especially damaging to fetuses, babies and children. Mercury is seeped into our water supply by emissions from power plants and other industrial activity. Americans are then exposed to mercury when they eat fish.Women who are exposed to high levels of mercury while they are pregnant should know that their health as well as their baby’s is threatened. Mercury can do serious damage to many parts of the body, including the nervous system, the kidneys, vision, and hearing. Babies who are exposed to mercury while in the womb can experience severe damage to the nervous system and die. They may also develop brain damage, hearing loss and learning disabilities. Birth defects mercury poisoning aren’t worth the brief pleasure of eating fish.
