Avoid the Mercury in Fish

The omega-3s in fish are known to boost brain power, but it's time to get smart about which type of fish you're eating. Mercury contamination isn't something we'll leave behind in '07, so remember to skip predator fish like shark, swordfish, tilefish, king mackerel and tuna.

This pocket seafood selector comes in handy, too.

Top predator fish typically have higher mercury levels than fish lower on the food chain. Some grocers have started posting the FDA advice about mercury in seafood; check out who on Oceana’s Green List.
