I eat 2 cans a day 65 grams of cheap protein, have been for a year.

2x a week is not too much.

Also, albacore tuna has higher levels of mercury, so stick with the cheap stuff if you can stand it.

We can't. He's deceased, and his blood was purchased by a thermometer manufacturing company.

In order to worry you'd have to a.) eat trucks full of tuna, and b.) be pregnant.

Whole Foods Market on mercury in fish

I wouldn't worry too much at two cans a week. Two cans a day could potentially be bad but really I wouldn't worry about it unless you are a woman who is now or may be child bearing.

Does that article cite the effects of mercury on men who may be child bearing?
