Mothers again urged to eat fish

Examples don't get much better than this.

Great reason not to buy into the distracting "healthy foods" debate.

For weight loss, it makes no difference.

It is all about Calories in, Calories out.

For anything else, the experts simply do not know.

Learn this lesson well to avoid being a victim who spends way too much effort, time and money on "healthy foods."

"Pregnant and breast-feeding women should eat at least 12 ounces of fish and seafood per week to ensure their babies' optimal brain development, a coalition of top scientists from private groups and federal agencies plans to declare today in a public advisory that marks a major break with current U.S. health advice.

The scientists' conclusion is at odds with the standard government advice issued in 2001 that new mothers and mothers-to-be should eat no more than 12 ounces of seafood per week because of concerns about mercury contamination.

Shifting data and advice on how women's consumption of fish and seafood affects brain development of fetuses and infants, the most vulnerable groups, have produced one of the more vexing nutritional dilemmas of recent years."

The "healthy foods" debate is one way the experts get richer by making you poorer.

Almost the entire conversation functions to place obstacles in the way of successful weight loss for adults and children.

All the while sickening us and our kids.

And making you think you need the experts even more.

Hogwash.
