With two new scientific studies from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and the Harvard School of Public Health concluding that health benefits of fish exceed any risks from chemicals, heavy metals or microbes, I thought that this would be an opportune time to post my latest recipe.
Before I get to the recipe, I wanted to comment briefly on the studies. The Institute of Medicine stated that seafood is a good source of protein that is low in saturated fat and rich in vitamins and minerals. It found that eating fish can reduce the risk of heart disease.
The Harvard study found that eating fish once or twice a week reduces the risk of death from heart disease by one third. The lead author concluded that the benefits “greatly outweigh the risks,” a fact that has been “lost on the public.”
