Seafood Lobby Says Get Well Soon, Faker - Celebrity Diets

Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrity, Stylish Living

After his recent Broadway shake up, you've probably heard that Jeremy Piven adheres to a strict pesco-vegetarian diet to keep up his trim figure. According to Piven, that's why he not so gracefully bowed out of a Broadway production of Mamet's Speed the Plow at the last minute -- due to mercury poisoning. Well, now the seafood industry is firing back in an attempt to defend the safety of a slimming fish diet. We have to admit, they're pretty convincing.

Sure, we've all heard horror stories about the mercury levels in some forms of fish these days, but there's no denying that mercury aside, fish contains all sorts of fats and minerals that are good for your skin. So how dangerous is eating fish?

The National Fisheries Institute has put together this YouTube video to respond to Piven's claims about being poisoned by his fish heavy diet. According to the NFI:
"There is no peer reviewed evidence that anyone in the US has ever suffered from mercury poisoning from eating commercial seafood. Ever ... People in Japan eat 154 pounds of fish a year on average. If Piven ate 6 ounces of fish a day for his whole life, he'd still eat less than the average Japanese. Despite this, there is no public health concern about mercury in Japan."
Look, we're not saying that Jeremy faked the whole thing just to get out of doing a Broadway show he was having second thoughts about. We're merely implying it. The symptoms he described on Good Morning America could have been caused by any number of ailments. So, it may be a little hasty to drop fish from your diet right away.
