Methylmercury accumulates in the brain and can lead to mental degeneration in adults. Also farmed fish don't offer omega 3 benefits unless they are specifically fed marine algae or kelp.

Across a population there is variety but for each individual it is discrete. Each woman/young woman likely knows (better know) if she is in her childbearing years. If she is capable of conceiving and finds herself in a situation where conception is possible, her prenatal nutrition status has an enormous impact on the health of her child. (part 2)

Childbearing years = those years in which one is capable of conceiving. It has nothing to do with an intent to have children. Biology doesnt care if you planned a pregnancy or not. <br /> <br /> (more) (system is messing up my comment - its in several parts)

Does it mean "women who are considering bearing children in the near future"? More likely, it means all women who are post-menstrual and pre-menopausal. That's a lot of women - all the ones between ages 12 and 60 or so. When discussing to whom food is dangerous, clarity matters!
