aloha!
the following two lists i found while browsing through arlan's
copy of that thick tome compiled by the burton goldberg group,
_alternative_medicine_the_definitive_guide_ ($60 cover price). unlike
tom billings invaluable nut guide, this seafood guide has only two
categories. compiled by david steinman, author of
_diet_for_a_poisoned_planet_, seafood choices fall into the safest (i.e.,
green light), and the highest risk (i.e., red light) area.
