...CATCH You may love fish, but California researchers report new evidence that consuming large species such as tuna and swordfish even once a week may be linked to fatigue, headaches, inability to concentrate and hair loss, all symptoms of low-level mercury poisoning. In a study of 123 fish-loving subjects, the researchers found that 89% had blood levels of methylmercury that exceeded the EPA standard by as much as 10 times. The problem with big fish is that they're at the top of the pelagic food chain, accumulating mercury from smaller fry and then passing...
...spicy tuna hand roll is staggering, a near life-changing experience. Minced marinated tuna is served with avocado, cucumber strips and vinegared rice, wrapped conically in a sheet of seaweed.

He says he then floated for 2,500 miles, living at first on a two-month supply of rice, beans, tomatoes and water, then on rainwater, tuna and turtles, until he was rescued by a warship.

Is it really O.K., as Atkins advocates, to slather mayonnaise all over salmon and tuna and douse asparagus and lobster with butter while friends look on in envy? Shades of the 1973 movie Sleeper, in which Woody Allen plays a 20th century Rip Van Winkle who awakens after a couple of hundred years to a world in which fatty delights like steak and cream pies...
