Long story short, In Mediterranean and Scandinavian diets (for example) they eat lots of fish. More than, what is recommended in (most countries in) Europe, 1 or 2 times a week, max. Why is this a recommendation that pops up everywhere,...

Just a simple question, what are the benefits and risks of fish consumption.
I only eat (rarely) shrimp and herring, but recently have wondered if the heavy metals found in them make it all around unsafe. Furthermore, does organic farming reduce these levels? Considering the animals would not be in contact with the polluted...

Is there any significant difference? Should one be used over the other? Both together? Thank you.
[The FDA limits servings for children and people about to become pregnant](https://www.fda.gov/media/102331/download), but says nothing concerning non-pregnant adults. Do any health organization recommend a limit to the amount of low-mercury fish non-pregnant adults can eat?
I watched the game changers documentary and im curious about the plant based diet. Has anyone tried it? If so did any change happen? Was your physical performance better or worse? Im very curious.
I cant find any information about this honestly. Everywhere I look it says ALA omega 3 is an essential fatty acid. And the body can in theory make EPA & DHA from ALA. So from that point of view, taking...

I'm interested to hear your arguments against following a plant-based (plant-forward) diet.
