Sushi: A Surprising Health Food ? Or Not ?

The Japanese are the longest living people on earth, and unlike Westerners, to be hideously obese is the rare exception, not the norm. It's obvious sushi is good for you. Is it a health food? According to the article, high Mercury, Sodium (in soy sauce), and bacteria make it sound toxic. You could get omega 3s in a piece of cooked salmon, with protein, and some carbs but to call sushi a health food... In Japan, pregnant women eat sushi. Do you know that a slice of bread has more(about 2x) sodium than a handfull of salted mixed nuts? Worried about sodium count in seaweed??? (from googling)
