Kids having these symptoms could have nothing whatever to do with mercury in vaccines of course.
Mother’s Mercury Levels Linked to Development of ADHD in Kids
Government agencies’ warnings to pregnant women about limiting fish consumption may be due for an update. A new study found that children of women with high mercury levels were 40 to 70 percent likely to exhibit symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. On the other hand, symptoms of ADHD in kids were less likely to show when women ate a lot of fish during pregnancy. Because many of us assume fish and mercury go hand in hand, this appears to be a paradox.
“Fish consumption doesn’t necessarily correlate with mercury levels,” says study co-author Susan Korrick, an assistant professor of medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital of the Harvard School of Public Health. “You could eat a high amount of fish that are low in mercury.”
