I&#8217;ve been wanting this information boiled down for me for a while because I&#8217;m constantly back-and-forthing about whether I should eat fish at all, what kind I should eat if I eat it, and what the effects are of that choice. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, I&#8217;ve seen the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceansalive.org\/eat.cfm?subnav=bestandworst\">little Ocean&#8217;s Alive chart<\/a> of red-, yellow-, and green-lit kinds of fish as per eco-impact. And I&#8217;ve seen yet other charts of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceansalive.org\/eat.cfm?subnav=healthalerts\" target=\"_new\">which fish could take your temperature<\/a> they have so much mercury. I was thrilled that Dr. Andy cross-referenced all that information. Even if the answer is kind of a bummer. Best fish to eat for its  environmental impact and toxicity level? Sardines. Sigh. Never been a fan of fish with a face I can see. But I&#8217;m going to give it a try. <\/p>\n<p>To check that out and loads, loads more: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drweil.com\/drw\/ecs\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">DrWeil.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And actually, it appears that Ocean&#8217;s Alive does cross-list their fish safety list now: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceansalive.org\/eat.cfm?subnav=healthalerts\" Target=\"_new\">Oceansalive.org <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Valerie Reiss, filling in for Amy.
