Would it be acceptable to eat cilantro while pregnant to purge mercury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mercury intake: Why not just avoid food high in mercury (check fish below).Fish with very high potential mercury levels: shark, swordfish, marlin, king mackerel, big eye & ahi tuna, orange roughy & tilefish. Limit intake of yellow fin & white albacore tuna, spanish & gulf maceral, grouper, bluefish & chilean sea bass. For healthier mercury levels try: crabs, crawdaddies, haddock, flounder, salmon & shrimp. Vvvv.
