If you are worried about mercury toxicity from seafood consumption, consider this:

Selenium has a high affinity to bind to Mercury.

When this happens, it forms a new substance, making it harder for the body to absorb mercury separately.

And which foods are highest in Selenium? You guessed it, SEAFOOD!

16 of the top 25 dietary sources of Selenium are ocean fish.

Eating seafood is completely safe, and much safer than not eating seafood.

Nature wins yet again.
