Setting the Record Straight even on the Radio
In a perfect example of the changing media attitude toward science-based information concerning seafood advice, NFIs registered dietitian, Jennifer McGuire, was given the opportunity last week to clear up some confusing recommendations from Mens Health editor Eric Adams. In an earlier interview with local DC radio station WTOP, Adams touted the widely misused FDA seafood guidance for pregnant women as the advice everyone should follow, including the magazines largely male audience. According to Adams, we should be reducing the amount of canned tuna we eat each week, with albacore tuna limited to only 6 ounces a week.
After a quick response from NFI explaining the discrepancies in Adams recommendation (including the fact that that advice is meant for pregnant women ONLY), McGuire was invited on the show Friday night to correct these common misconceptions on seafood advice.
