I looked through all the links, and did not find anything that answered my question, which you seem to have accidentally cut off before you replied. The other half was: Has there been any firm connection of eating fish with contracting any illness? ( Or is this just "health food store newsletter thinking"? ) The only relatively clear cut danger appears to be to fetuses and developing small children. Beyond that, there seems to be no solid evidence. The word "potential" is used by most of the abstracts you cited. Although I don't care for epidemiological evidence, nevertheless the existence of specific illness amongst both the residents of Norway and Louisiana, that did not exist in the residents of Hungary and Iowa, would at least be a start. -- Cheers, Ken
