...servings of fish per week - but probably only 10% to 20% of the population in the U.S. eats sufficient fish. The real danger in this country, the real concern, is that we're not eating enough fish. That is very likely increasing our rates of death from heart disease...
...these levels is not with neurologic effects, but with cardiovascular effects. Two of five studies [that looked at the relationship between mercury and cardiovascular disease] suggested that at levels of mercury seen with typical consumption in Western populations, there might be cardiovascular effects long-term [increased risk of heart attack with higher levels of mercury]. But three of the five studies have not shown that...
...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. We know from very good human studies that fish intake reduces the risk of dying from a heart attack by about a third. And heart attack is the number-one cause of death in the U.S. among both women and men. It's the number-one cause of death in almost every country in the world. And eating fish once or twice a week reduces that risk...
...only about 10% of young women reported receiving at least one dose of the three-dose vaccine. Even for the well-publicized flu vaccine, immunization rates are far below national targets. The CDC wants 90% coverage among at-risk Americans: adults over 50, people with certain existing conditions like heart or lung disease, dormitory or chronic-care-facility residents and workers, people who work or live with small children, and - especially - healthcare workers, who can spread the disease easily. Influenza kills an estimated 36,000 people in the U.S. every year - more than prostate cancer or AIDS - but the current...
...There was and is, however, one very big idea lurking at the heart of the Democratic Party, even if its leaders have been loath to unleash it. If Republicans were about individual freedom, Democrats were about national unity. If Ronald Reagan said, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem," Democrats can say, "Government is the ultimate expression of our public values - including our desire to create a free, fair market system." For decades since Reagan, it has been easy for feckless demagogues to rail against the nation's capital as if it were a deadly...
