Study Finds Benefits of Consuming Seafood Outweigh Risk
The National Academies of Science, Institute of Medicine, has released a study finding that the benefits of eating seafood outweigh the risks of exposure to environmental contaminants. The study, “Seafood Choices: Balancing Benefits and Risks,” was sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with support from the Food and Drug Administration.
The study was prompted by concern that environmental contaminants in some species of fish could be harmful. The researchers found that seafood is rich in nutrients, low in saturated fats, and may reduce the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. The report confirms seafood as a healthy choice, but recommends that people who eat seafood more than twice a week consume a variety of species to get a wide range of nutrients and to avoid buildup of environmental contaminants. The study also agreed with federal guidelines for the consumption of fish by women who are pregnant, nursing, or may become pregnant, and children under the age of 12. The study also pointed out that seafood has become safer in recent years, as a result of the decline of environmental pollutants like PCBs and pesticides.
A similar study “Fish Intake, Contaminants, and Human Health: Evaluating the Risks and the Benefits” has been released in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The studies both reached the same conclusion: the incorporation of seafood into American diets is important in reducing the risk of coronary disease. For more information, visit www.noaa.gov.
