I recommend all pregnant and breastfeeding women follow the consensus guidelines to get about 200mg of preformed DHA from a pollutant-free source.

No demonstrable clear and consistent benefits? See my last video: Should Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women Take DHA (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pregnant-breastfeeding-women-take-dha).

What about taking long chain omega 3’s to protect our heart? See:
• Is Fish Oil Just Snake Oil? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-fi...)
• Omega-3’s and the Eskimo Fish Tale (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Omega...)

I raised concern about the pollutants in seafood during pregnancy in a number of my videos:
• The Wrong Way to Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-w...)
• Hair Testing for Mercury Before Considering Pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hair-...)
• Fish Intake Associated With Brain Shrinkage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-...)
• Mercury vs. Omega-3s for Brain Development (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mercu...)
