The short answer

Provides lean protein, vitamin B12, iodine, selenium, and some omega-3 fat.

Evidence and scope
Food context; study findings do not grade the whole food.
Important limitation
Evidence is strongest for fish as part of a healthy pattern; lean species provide protein and micronutrients but have less omega-3 than oily fish.
Before deciding
Species, preparation, sustainability, and contaminant exposure matter. Pregnancy guidance and local advisories may change the best choice.

02 / RESEARCH

Research screening result

The current baseline stays visually separate from credible findings that are mechanistic, responder-dependent, small, or not yet replicated.

Established / currently defensibleEvidence is strongest for fish as part of a healthy pattern; lean species provide protein and micronutrients but have less omega-3 than oily fish.

The general interpretation that does not depend on one unreplicated positive result. An established limitation is as important as an established benefit.
