As we become increasingly aware of toxins lurking in our food—including protein powder, dark chocolate, and brown rice—it’s only natural to wonder about other foods you regularly eat. One of those foods might be fish, some of which is known to be high in mercury—a neurotoxin. And while chowing down on tuna salad or a sushi roll you may be wondering: How much mercury is too much?
“All you have to worry about is, don’t eat high mercury fish several times a week,” food scientist Abbey Thiel tells Fortune.
