Heavy Metal Calculator

Hooked on seafood but concerned about mercury? Figure out what you can swallow safely with the mercury calculator at gotmercury.org. It considers your weight, along with the type and amount of seafood you eat, and rates your dose of the contaminant as low, moderate, or high.

If you do scale back, keep up your intake of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids with fish oil supplements (all 41 brands in a test by ConsumerLab.com were found to be mercury-free).
