One of my pregnant patients consumes four cans of tuna a week. She became very concerned when she read that tuna contains methylmercury, which is toxic to the fetal brain. How should I advise her?
Fresh tuna might contain toxic levels of methylmercury, but levels are much lower in canned tuna. Reassure your patient that eating canned tuna will not harm her or her baby.
我的一位怀孕患者每周吃四罐金枪鱼罐头。当她读到金枪鱼含有对胎儿大脑有毒的甲基汞时,非常担心。我该如何建议她?
新鲜金枪鱼可能含有有毒水平的甲基汞,但罐装金枪鱼中的含量要低得多。让你的患者放心,食用罐装金枪鱼不会对她或她的宝宝造成伤害。
