Mark Hyman on Wild-Caught Low-Mercury Fish: recommends

Hyman’s Pegan food lists emphasize low-mercury fish — sardines, mackerel, and herring are his named examples — as a preferred protein source. He specifically warns against high-mercury species, a paired warn that appears as its own position page.

His stated reasoning is that these small, wild-caught fish supply protein and omega-3 fatty acids without the mercury contamination he attributes to larger predatory fish. The recommendation reflects his broader pattern of pairing a dietary inclusion with an exclusion: the quality and sourcing of the food matter as much as the category.
