how much seafood should we eat?
A Dutch study published in May 1985 in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that “the consumption of as little as one or two fish dishes a week may be of preventive value in relation to coronary heart disease”. These findings were echoed by scientists who gathered at a two-day conference on seafood and health in November 1985. They agreed that eating several seafood meals a week is a good way to cut your risk of heart disease. “I have no qualms about the American public eating three or even four meals of fish a week”, said Dr. William Castelli, director of the Framingham Heart Study. This landmark study established the risk factors for heart disease.
