Mussels, apparently, are very good for you...

Mussels boom after rethink on health

Extracts:

"Mussels are becoming a new "wonder food", as sales surged by almost 30 per cent last year after Government scientists changed their previous view that the shellfish was unhealthy.

Analysts believe the rise follows the endorsement by celebrity chefs such as Rick Stein and Gordon Ramsay, mounting concerns over the sustainability of other seafood stocks and a decision by the Department of Health to reverse advice that mussels are bad for the heart.

According to TNS, the independent retail analyst, sales of mussels in Britain rose from 2,390 tons in 2005, to 3,000 tons last year, a total of £15 million."

"For two decades, mussels have been blamed for causing high cholesterol levels, which contribute to heart disease.

But studies by scientists in the US shattered the theory and, in December, the NHS Direct website removed mussels from a list of items associated with high cholesterol."
