I researched this last year, but comparing the flu shot to the mercury in a typical sushi dinner. Wow, was that ever a sobering set of numbers. I still feed my children sushi, but now I feel guilty about it.
I feed my kid sushi too, and Coz had a sushi-enriched uterine environment and now gets sushi-enriched breastmilk. I have always thought that we were relatively mercury-safe if we eliminated tuna, hamachi, and mackerel. Were you able to get a sense of whether that's the case?
