Janelle Monáe revealed she's trying to figure out the right time to have a child, but she's still recovering from mercury poisoning — which she attributed to her pescatarian diet.
, "Some people may be exposed to higher levels of mercury if they have a diet high in fish, shellfish, or marine mammals."says that although rare, it's possible to for someone following a pescatarian diet to get mercury poisoning.
"It happens because mercury, a toxic yet naturally occurring metal, tends to build up over time in the body which may lead to dangerous symptoms affecting the brain and the nervous system," she tells. "While the kidneys and liver are naturally designed to filter and flush mercury and other toxic substances from the body, these organs may become sluggish overtime if constantly bombarded with work, allowing more opportunity for build up and toxicity.
But if you're a pescatarian, or considering a more fish-rich diet, Beckerman says there's no need to worry. "Because fish is part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle, don’t stop eating fish because you are scared of mercury poisoning," she says.
