Follow on Google News | Media Should Continue to Treat Jeremy Piven’s Medical Claims With SkepticismThis morning the New York Times published yet another installment in the seemingly never-ending dispute between Jeremy Piven and the producers of the Broadway production of David Mamet's “Speed the Plow.”
By: National Fisheries Institute Despite the fact that the arbitrator ruled in Piven's favor, the National Fisheries Institute (NFI) continues to caution reporters and editors to treat Piven's medical claims with skepticism. To reiterate, no peer reviewed medical journal has ever published any evidence of a case of methylmercury poisoning caused by the normal consumption of commercial seafood in the U.S. Neither the arbitrator's ruling nor the Times latest rehash of the drama that Broadway types care about changes that simple scientific fact. NFI has published detailed video rebuttals on YouTube to Piven's statements on both Good Morning American and Late Night with David Letterman: http://www.youtube.com/ NFI has also compiled a complete archive of statements concerning Piven's claims: http://www.aboutseafood.com/ # # # For more than 60 years, the National Fisheries Institute (NFI) and its members have provided American families with the variety of sustainable seafood essential to a healthy diet.
