Scientists from the University of Bristol have revised current recommendations that warn expectant mothers against eating fish. It is believed that it contains a large amount of mercury.
The current study combined the health status of more than 4,100 mothers-to-be. The authors found that eating any kind of fish is safe because fish have nutrients that protect humans from mercury. Note that for quite a long time there has been an assumption about the danger of fish for the health of expectant mothers, since this product may contain a lot of mercury.
Pregnant women should not give up fish, scientists
But it has also been known for some time that children of women who have eaten fish during pregnancy have stronger eyesight and developed intellectual abilities. That is why, for some time now, pregnant women have been advised not to eat only certain types of fish that can contain elevated levels of mercury. But because of such recommendations, expectant mothers, just in case, stopped eating fish altogether.
You can eat fish during pregnancy
And now it has been proven that mercury levels in women during pregnancy, with high degree of probability, will not have an adverse effect on the development of the child, even with the active use of fish. But if a woman does not eat fish, then she will not receive from this product the nutrients contained in it, which just protect the baby from exposure to mercury. That is, it is precisely the refusal of fish that threatens the health of the child in the womb more than its consumption. (READ MORE)
