- Yes, please fix the link to that it goes to the naked lunch segment. Thx. . .

Brian Lehrer Producer responds: The Link should be fixed and ready to go. Thank you to all who let us know that there was an audio problem!

I'm writing to second Lou and Lynn Anne. Couldn't hear this segment when I clicked on it. Please fix!!!

I tried to download the Naked Lunch segment, so my wife could hear it, but I found that the all the links for that segment actually led to the John Edwards segment.

Are you all getting to listen to this show here?? I had a screaming kid in the car while it was playing so i gave up and figured I'd listen when I got home, but when I try to hear Naked Lunch I get Are you the one...and when I click on are you the one I also get are you the one...help!

As per a Japanese sensei: One who eats ample amounts of fish should
also eat plenty of seaweed because compunds in various seaweeds turn
heavy metals into salts that can then be excreted in the urine. If you are interested, just google health benefits of seaweed.

J from Question 2, re: restaurants only serving sustainable seafood -- don't know about NYC but it is a standard practice throughout the Pacific Northwest -- has been for several years.

I was shocked to learn at a popular Seattle restaurant recently that the waitstaff actually goes out and seeds some of the shellfish beds themselves!

To me this is a story about a NEWSPAPER finally doing something so important and relevant (testing everyday foods for poisons!) -- that everyone -- EVERYONE -- must read it!

Mercury poising has also been researched and is widely believed to be a cause or Autism. They mostly talk about Autism-causing mercury in the context of vaccinations...is the mercury in canned fish/sushi just as potentially harmful in terms of Autism?

what about the recent NY TImes article about the end available fish in the seas??

Question:

I find that fish which is lower in mercury is often very expensive (I paid 16$ a pound for alaskan salmon last week). Can you recommend any fish that is safe to eat, yet still affordable? Thanks

Does cooking reduce the mercury in fish?

i've heard that there are several japanese restaurants, [Geisha is the only one I can remember for now], that use fish for sushi that is only from sustainable resources, and NOT use endangered fish species populations.

are sustainable populations and even fish farms considered to have less mercury as well?

Haven't had a shrimp, tilapia, tuna since living in Asia several years ago.

There I observed with horror how farm grown foods are raised and how filthy their oceans can be.

On top of that, the use of bacteria and bug killers is prolific and the instructions are written in English (since many of those products are produced in the USA).

The cheap prices might be tempting but I skip it all at the market. I do eat anchovies, and sometimes salmon, flounder and some deep Atlantic fish.
