that is all true unless we take into account pollution. at the moment those who eat a lot of fish and sushi are vulnerable. this produce often contain heavy metals and mercury in particular, which is quite difficult to detox from the body.
That's true! That's why I wrote atleast 2 times per week... I think 2-3 times per week is ok :)
I think it also depends of what type of fish we eat... For example Tuna have more mercury then almost any other fish...
