Health News of the Day, part 2

Health News of the Day is a daily summary made from the selected links I post on Twitter. It is in a bullet points format with links to the original sources which include 350 RSS feeds that produce about 2,500 items per day.

  • Eating omega-3-rich seafood may be a mood-lifter for women who are feeling depressed during pregnancy. Seafood may help depression in pregnancy - but pregnant women should limit consumption due to its mercury content... "Although common in western countries, depression is virtually absent in countries where people eat a lot of fish" http://bit.ly/jVrJA - Sounds like a bald statement...

Medical news tweets are not research articles - they are 140-character messages - please always go to the original source/links, etc. The inclusion of a Twitter update (tweet) does not represent endorsement or agreement of any kind. Tweets and links do not represent endorsement, approval or support.
