Eating seafood twice a week is good for you, Americans have been told.  New US guidelines recommend that people, especially children and pregnant and nursing women, eat seafood that often.

The guidelines summarise scientific findings presented at a conference in Washington reiterating that seafood helps people to live longer and healthier, cutting the risk for heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, stroke, diabetes and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

The conference was sponsored by the Governments of the US, Norway, Canada and Iceland, aided by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation.

Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, iron and choline, present in fish such as wild and farmed salmon, shrimp and catfish, are important in brain development and may lessen the effects of dyslexia, autism, hyperactivity and attention-deficit disorder, researchers have found, and some studies have linked those nutrients with increased intelligence in infants and children.

William E.M. Lands, a retired professor of biochemistry at the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois says, "not eating seafood is more harmful than eating it".
