Eat More Oily Fish and Be Healthy, Say Food Experts
 (London, Reuters Health, 6/24/04)

After a yearlong investigation, experts from the British Food Standards Agency (FSA) announced that the health benefit derived from consuming four servings weekly of oily fish—like tuna, salmon and mackerel—outweigh the small risk of toxin buildup; however, the scientists advised females of childbearing age to limit their intake to two portions a week. John Krebs of the FSA said that the four-portion recommendation took into consideration average levels of carcinogens, like dioxins and PCBs, in oily fish. The government experts believe that consuming oily fish will protect against heart disease.
