Understanding Neurotoxicity: Making Smart Seafood Choices

Understanding Neurotoxicity: Making Smart Seafood Choices

November 12, 20231 min read

Neurotoxicity refers to the damage inflicted on the brain by exposure to harmful substances. Some common neurotoxins include toxic metals like mercury and cadmium. The toxicity of these metals is typically higher in larger, longer-living fish. It's important to be aware of which seafood choices may pose a greater risk.

Safe Seafood Choices:

  1. High Concern: Tuna, swordfish, orange roughy, and shark are seafood options that raise concerns due to their higher levels of neurotoxic metals.

  2. Low Concern: Opt for safer choices like salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herring. You can remember these by the acronym "S.M.A.S.H."

Conclusion:

Making informed seafood choices is essential for minimizing exposure to neurotoxic substances. By selecting low-concern options, you can enjoy the benefits of seafood while safeguarding your health.
