[quote=Anonymous]I feel like this "why not do the best you can" framing only makes sense if the recommendations are truly science-based. Personally, I'm not drinking any alcohol for that reason and I'm staying under the recommended caffeine limit. But my understanding is that eating sushi isn't going to harm the baby even if you do get food poisoning - it'll just make you uncomfortable. And I'm willing to take that risk (for low-mercury fish, of course); I wouldn't be if it was a risk to the baby. As for deli meat, personally, I'm avoiding turkey and other things that I understand to be a high lysteria risk like queso fresco (and other unpasteurized cheeses). But my understanding is that, say, prosciutto is not really a historical source of lysteria outbreaks, whereas various greens and ice cream are. And that it's somewhat random where the next outbreak will show up. You can't actually avoid everything. [/quote]
