Since when is it surprising that sushi is healthy?? Of course it is. The Japanese are the longest living people on earth, and unlike Westerners, to be hideously obese is the rare exception, not the norm. It's obvious sushi is good for you.

I enjoy Sushi, because it is different. Is it a health food? According to the article high Mercury,Sodium (in soy sauce), and bacteria make it sound toxic. But it is a change from the ordinary that gets me, and the reason I enjoy eating it 2-3x a month. You could get omega 3s in a piece of cooked salmon, with protein, and some carbs but to call sushi a health food... I am uncertain if I would go that far.

I am Andrew from Hong Kong, I love sushi very much. I totally agree with you the advantage of sushi,related with low blood pressure,omega-3, minerals and etc. But in reality, summer is coming,does anybody concern about the hygiene of the raw food , in particular,raw fish in kitchen ? Probably they focus more on commercial than knowledge !. If the raw food is not up to a healthy standard, that would be an off set upon any good idea you have mentioned.

In Japan, pregnant women eat sushi. And I had never heard that it had harmful effect to children/babies. Also, "sushi made with seaweed tends to be a little higher in sodium" It is funniest thing I ever heard. Do you know that a slice of bread has more(about 2x) sodium than a handfull of salted mixed nuts? Worried about sodium count in seaweed??? How much of this MD's information reliable??

Also, regarding the high mercury content of the fish, it was confirmed in recent studies that the benefits of eating it highly outweigh the damages, when it comes to pregnant or nursing women.

For several years I have lived by the mantra of "Mmmmm... meat" - steaks and cheeseburgers usually my first choice - and have unfortunately earned the waistline to prove it. In only the past couple of months I have changed that to "Mmmmmm... sushi" and am already seeing a difference (and so does my wife). Might as well throw in that it's delicious, and that wasabi clears out the sinuses faster than anything I've ever experienced. Don't ask for scientific medical research, because I'm not offering any, just the evidence of my own senses. I'm a regular, red-blooded American guy, and I LOVE this stuff.
