          Probiotics May Be Unexpected Heroes in Detoxifying Mercury in Gut

          Gut microbes could be leveraged to block absorption of toxic metals, such as mercury, while promoting absorption of beneficial ones, like iron. The scientists focused on genes that enable bacteria to convert dangerous mercury into less toxic forms.

          Study Calls for Change in Guidance About Eating Fish During Pregnancy

          Essential nutrients found in fish counteract and provide neuroprotection against mercury in fish, researchers report. The new study says eating fish during pregnancy can help provide essential nutrients to the developing fetus.

          ADHD and Autism Associated With In-Utero Heavy Metals and Essential Minerals

          Prenatal exposure to heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic, and increased levels of the mineral manganese, were linked to an increased risk of ADHD and autism spectrum diagnosis in children.

          No Link Between Autism and Eating Fish During Pregnancy

          A new study challenges popular belief that fish consumption during pregnancy can contribute to ASD in children. Analyzing blood samples in one of the largest longitudinal studies to date, researchers found no links between mercury levels in mothers and autistic traits in their offspring. Surprisingly, the only adverse effect of mercury was noted in children's poorer social skills if the mother did not consume fish at all, especially in girls.

          Mercury Rising: Are All the Fish We Eat Toxic?

          Researchers say industrial fishing could be exposing people in coastal areas and island nations to excessively high levels of mercury. It is estimated that people from 38% of countries examined may be exposed to higher methylmercury levels from fish than is deemed safe for fetal development.
