It appears that the FDA has discovered lead in women's vitamins, pre-natal vitamins and children's vitamins:

Could someone research if this is an issue?

You're committing public health malpractice by suggesting that tuna is a high-mercury fish like King Mackerel and Shark. It's simply not true.

It's remarkable that this myth has persisted, but that doesn't make it true.

Tuna is a low-mercury fish, compared to most seafood varieties enjoyed by Americans. And it brings probably the best bargain of omega-3 fatty acids per dollar of any fish in the sea.

A remarkable report from the Center for Consumer Freedom (http://www.mercuryfacts.org) recently found that America's poorest children were being denied the IQ benefits of omega-3s because of an irrational fear of tuna.

There's no reason for US News to perpetuate it.
