    Tks for that Liz

    Ive attached SSA Media release re health benefits this week

    Safe Harbor seem to be either
    a. taking advantage of the 'fear' factor or
    b. genuinely creating an alternative for people who have concerns

    Personally I do not think its a good thing because clearly there is much
    scientific evidence to support the fact that the risks of eating seafood are
    overstated and the health benefits are understated and most clearly the
    benefits are much higher than any perceived risks
    All Safe Harbor product does is add cost to a product people should be
    eating without adding any value
    Better that people get the 'truth'
    Those that dont believe the facts of the scientific evidence are unlikely to
    be convinced by additional science technology in my opinion

    best regards Roy
