A few of the benefits of eating fish are that your kids do better on testing and that fish is full of nutrients. Other then that the argument shows that there are more risks than benefits in the situation.
fish can help in the development of brain tissue and also provides important nutriants to the body. just because some fish may have mercury in them dosent mean that all fish is dangerous. i will take my chances because fish is delish.
Although high levels of mercury can cause damage there are some benefits to eating fish. There are many nutrients in fish and children need the fatty acids to help them grow. I do believe that the benefits do outweigh the risks. People do not always buy fish in a store, they catch them also. Fish is a big nutrient supplier and most of the fish that are contaminated are from man made sources or something has gotten into the water.
I have learnt that eating fish is healthy. It helps your brain grow and your wisdom increase. The risk is eating fish that is contaminated with mercury. If you found healthy fish it would be safe to eat.
Eating fish is healthy as long as the fish is not high in mercury. Sword fish is one of the highest in mercury. the ammoutn of fish americans eat it is not dangerious for mercury poison. Children need the fatty acids in the fish. I thenik the risks out weigh the benifits.
There are benefits from eating fish. There are lots of beneficial nutrients in fish. Moms that ate a lot of fish had kids that did better on the tests but ones with high mercury levels did poor on the test. Eating fish doesn't have to have risks you can eat all kinds of fish that don't have high mercury levels. So yes the benefits from fish are worth the risks, just eat the right fish and you will be all set.
