Have You Taken the Bait For
the Healthy Fish Myth?
Dear Newsmax Friend,
Have you fallen hook, line and sinker for fish?
Fresh, frozen and canned — collectively, we eat 4 billion pounds of fish each year.
Fried, grilled, blackened, in sushi, in fancy restaurants or in fast food joints. And of course, our kids love their homemade tuna sandwiches and tuna casserole.
In addition to fish, seafood consumption in general continues to rise. We love it all — shrimp, lobster, scallops, clams, oysters, and crab. Perhaps that's because of the messages we get about eating fish and seafood.
What have you heard or read about eating fish?
You read in the popular press about the many virtues of eating fish. The director of the government's NOAA Fisheries Service, Bill Hogarth, says: "Seafood is a safe and healthy food choice for all Americans..."
And the American Heart Association suggests that you eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids two times a week to keep your heart healthy.
So what's the problem?
Something's Fishy with Fish...
Dr. Russell Blaylock
Newsmax Medical Editor
According to our Newsmax medical editor Dr. Russell Blaylock, the fish (and some of the seafood) you're eating may contain high levels of a number of less-than-healthy compounds.
Nasty stuff like mercury (one of the most poisonous metals in existence), PCBs, dioxins, pesticides and herbicides.
In his new issue of The Blaylock Wellness Report — "Eating Fish: What You Need to Know" — he discusses the dilemma:
Should you eat seafood for the health benefits of the omega-3 oils, or should you avoid it because of the health-destroying effects of mercury and other compounds it contains?
Your Government Wants You to
Say "Yes" to Seafood
Even Dr. Blaylock agrees on the importance of omega-3 oils, the healthy oil found in seafood. He'll tell you that omega-3 has been associated with dramatic reductions in heart-related deaths, strokes, cancer, and arthritis pain.
Yet, is it really safe to eat more fish — and if so, which fish are safe?
According to Dr. Blaylock, you can't count on government agencies like the FDA (which regulates commercial seafood) and the EPA (which regulates fish from sports fishing) to protect you. He says they don't share their concerns over contaminants with us — the general public — through the media or through public alerts.
Why? Because they tread a very thin line trying to protect the public, while at the same time not wanting to destroy the seafood industry. After all, commercial fishing is our nation's oldest industry, and also the world's last remaining industry for a truly wild food resource.
Unfortunately, independent studies have shown that methylmercury (the type of mercury found in seafood) is highly toxic to many of your organs and tissues — and especially to the developing brain of fetuses and newborns.
And mercury tends to accumulate in fatty parts of the body (your brain is about 60% fat) and remain for decades. Mercury triggers chronic brain inflammation and plays havoc with your immune system.
Some Researchers Claim the
Fish Concerns are Overblown
In "Eating Fish: What You Need to Know," Dr. Blaylock will describe some of the studies — both pro and con — involved in this debate. And he'll clue you in to how some of the researchers come to the results they publish.
Plus, you'll find practical and little-known information about eating seafood that you can use to make informed decisions regarding the health of your family.

You Can't Expect This Type of Independent
Reporting from Traditional Media Coverage
You know that already. That's probably one of the reasons you're already a Newsmax subscriber.
You also probably know that pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars on ads with the traditional media. It seems like every time you turn on the TV, you're likely to see drug commercials to treat everything from insomnia to erectile dysfunction.
And what about your doctor? Mainstream medical journals are literally crawling with drug ads as well.
DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCK
Doctor, Neurosurgeon,
Author, Health Advocate
Russell Blaylock, M.D. not only compiles and edits Newsmax.com's Blaylock Wellness Report. He's also a nationally recognized board-certified neurosurgeon, health practitioner, author and lecturer.
He attended the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed his internship and neurosurgical residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. For over a quarter of a century, he practiced in the demanding field of neurosurgery in addition to having a nutritional practice.
He recently retired from his neurosurgical duties to devote his full attention to nutritional studies and research. Dr. Blaylock has authored three books on nutrition and wellness:
Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills
Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life
Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients
An in-demand guest for radio and TV programs, he lectures extensively to both lay audiences and other physicians on a variety of nutrition-related subjects.
Dr. Blaylock is the 2004 recipient of the Integrity in Science Award granted by the Weston A. Price Foundation. He serves on the editorial staff of the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, official publication of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
He previously served as Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS, and is currently a visiting professor of biology at the Belhaven College, also in Jackson.
All those commercials and print ads equal millions and millions of dollars — money the media and the journals don't want to give up by creating a ruckus with a little thing like the truth!
Thank goodness Dr. Blaylock says "thanks but no thanks" to the medical establishment. He's no shill for the traditional media, either.
Around Newsmax, we consider him something of a medical renegade, because:
He accepts NO commissions or payment for any of the products he recommends.
He takes NO money from the multi-billion dollar drug companies.
He does NO medical "research" funded by Big Pharma, either.
This way, he has NO conflict of interest.
At Newsmax, we consider it a novel change — don't you?

With The Blaylock Wellness Report, every month you'll get Dr. Blaylock's personal briefing on the latest cutting-edge research (especially those findings that never make it into the nightly news).
