...have high-mercury fish every day for months to years you may get neurologic symptoms. The simplest way to avoid that problem is to eat a variety of fish and seafood. Both our report in 2006 in JAMA and the Institute of Medicine report, which were completely independent and came out at the same time, came to the same conclusion: There's no consistent evidence right now for significant health effects from mercury in adults, and the simplest way to avoid concern is to eat a variety of fish. We went further and recommended, to be prudent, that people...

...know I sound like I'm trying to downplay the risk but I really think we are experimenting with people's lives when we give recommendations or write stories or reports that make people eat less fish.
