It has not proven false, but, yes, moderation is the answer.

Piven reported eating sushi twice a day for 20 years - way, way, way
beyond what is typical. AND the kinds of fish he preferred may be part
of it, too. Blue fin, for example, is towards the top of its food
chain so it would contain more mercury. Shark and swordfish are also
collectors, although less likely to be eaten as sushi.

Mercury accumulation is of particular concern to pregnant women or
those planning pregnancies, and to children.
