Let's see: Last month you had one large halibut filet, two Maine lobsters (plus that extra claw you snagged), eight oysters, and seven Maryland blue crabs. That sounds like a good month of nutritious seafood eating. Lots of that heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid and lots of protein. But how much mercury did you ingest last month? Now you can find out: Enter your weight and what you ate, and NRDCs "mercury calculator" will tell you how much mercury you may have consumed and how it compares to the Environmental Protection Agency's health guidelines.
