I ʻekolu mau makahiki i hala aku nei, i ka wā i hāpai au, ua ʻike wau i ka ʻokoʻa o ka hoʻokokoke ʻana o nā kauka Lūkia, ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika i ka hoʻokele hāpai ʻana. I koʻu pūʻiwa, ma kekahi mau hihia ua ʻano ʻokoʻa ka manaʻo o lākou. ʻO kahi laʻana, hoʻokahi wale nō kauka, ke kūkākūkā nei i ka meaʻai o ka wahine hāpai me aʻu, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i ka pōʻino o ka iʻa kai nui e like me ka tuna. Kuhi mai hea kēia kauka?
No laila, i kēia lā makemake wau e kākau e pili ana i ke kumu e ʻai ʻole ai nā wahine hāpai. A hiki ke heluhelu ʻia koʻu manaʻo e pili ana i ka iʻa i ka nui ma kēia loulou.
ʻO Tuna kahi iʻa i loaʻa i kahi kiʻekiʻe loa o kahi neurotoxin i kapa ʻia ʻo methylmercury (ma ke ʻano he rula, ua kapa ʻia ia he mercury), a ʻo kekahi ʻano o ke tuna e paʻa mau nei i ka moʻolelo no kona kūpaʻa. ʻO kahi laʻana, ke ʻano e hoʻohana ʻia e hana i ka sushi i loko o kahi mercury he nui. Akā i loko o nā tuna kēpau māmā, kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻano iʻa palekana loa e ʻai ai, piʻi ka pae o ka mercury i kekahi manawa.
Hiki i ka Mercury ke hana i nā kīnā hānau koʻikoʻi e like me ka makapō, ke kuli a me ka noʻonoʻo noʻonoʻo inā pili ka fetus i ka toxin i ka ulu ʻana o ka fetal. ʻO kahi noi he 18 mau makahiki ma mua o 800 mau keiki nona nā makuahine i ʻai i ka iʻa i loaʻa i ka mercury i ka wā o ka hāpai ʻana ua hōʻike ʻia ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia nā hopena ʻino o ka prenatal i kēia neurotoxin i ka hana lolo. ʻOiai nā pae haʻahaʻa o ka mercury i nā papaʻai a nā makuahine i hoʻonā i ka lolo e hoʻohiohi i nā hōʻailona lohe i nā keiki i ka makahiki 14.
Inā ʻai pinepine ʻoe i ka iʻa kiʻekiʻe i ka mercury, hiki iā ia ke kūkulu i loko o kou kino a hoʻopōʻino i ka ulu ʻana o ka lolo a me ka ʻōnaehana nūhou o kāu pēpē.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, he kumu waiwai ka iʻa iʻa nui o ka protein, hao a me ka zinc - nā mea waiwai nui no ka ulu a me ka ulu ʻana o kāu pēpē. Hoʻohui ʻia, pono nā omega-3 fatty acid no ka ʻōpū, nā pēpē a me nā keiki ʻōpio.
I kēia manawa, koi aku ka American Union of Consumers (Consumer Reports) i nā wahine e hoʻolālā ana i kahi hāpai keiki, nā wahine hāpai, nā makuahine hānai a me nā keiki ʻōpio e hōʻole i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo mai nā iʻa kai nui, e like me ka manō, ka iʻa pahi, ka marck, mackerel, tile, tuna. No ka hapanui o nā mea kūʻai aku Lūkini, ʻo ka tuna ka mea nui i kēia papa inoa.
Koho i ka salemona, nā heleuma, kauʻu, sardine, muliwai muliwai - ʻoi aku ka palekana o kēia iʻa.
