Summary
While dietary guidelines universally include fish as a food group that can be consumed regularly in a healthy dietary pattern, there are some potential risks of fish consumption that get raised. Some have some legitimacy, for example the frequency of consumption of high-mercury fish. However, other claims can go to extremes ("eating fish is bad for you") that are based in ideology rather than evidence.
In this Quack Asylum episode, we use a video made by a medical doctor as an example of where quackery can raise its head on this topic. Specifically, there are four claims made in the video that we investigate and see if there is any basis to them.
This is a Premium-exclusive episode. In order to listen to the full episode and access the show notes, you will need to subscribe to Sigma Nutrition Premium.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. My name is Danny Lennon. You are very welcome. |
| 0:19.7 | Today we're going to be talking all about the impact of fish consumption on human health. And in particular, we're going to be evaluating a set of claims that come from a specific clip, a video by a medical doctor talking about a number of claims related to why eating fish is problematic. But really, this clip is |
| 0:39.2 | just one example of a broader set of claims that you hear repeated in other places online |
| 0:44.6 | that adds to the confusion around, well, is this something that people should be worried about |
| 0:48.9 | or not? And so we're going to be diving into four specific claims that come from one short clip, like I said, made by a medical doctor. |
| 0:56.7 | And hopefully we're going to walk through that and lay out some evidence of what we actually know on both sides of these different claims, |
| 1:04.5 | and then what we should maybe conclude from that. |
