man i love tuna... its the perfect post-workout food... like 30gs of protein in a tiny can... yum! 🙂

someone once told me its bad to eat it every day or even regularly cause of the levels of mercury in it or something... can anyone clarify?
 
Yeah...I've been told this a few times myself. I honestly have not done any research though. The mercury is supposed to come from all the pollution in the ocean where a lot of these fish are caught.
 
not sure about foreign tuna, but Aussie northern and southern bluefin tuna used for commecial purposes is generally farmed so i doubt that the mercury content would be come a health hazard.
 
Yeah, and grilled steak causes cancer. LoL, you should be out living life and not worrying if eating tuna or steak will knock a couple years off your lifespan, when it's your time to go you'll know.
 
Well I know pregnant women in the UK are advised not to eat more than two (?) cans a week due to the murcury levels, and our government (UK) is not always the most stringant regarding public health!

No more than two cans a week? Don't think I'm dangerously above that level...

Yeah, it is pretty cyclical.

OMG, *insert food here* is gonna kill me!

Meh... gimme a tuna fish sammich with a nice mercury Au Jus. Toasted bread please. 😀
 
Are you a woman? Are you a child? If the answers to these questions is "no", then don't worry about the mercury level in tuna. If you are concerned, try switching to "chunk light" instead of white/albacore.

Yech. At that point you might as well just switch to cat food.

whoa who said its gonna kill anyone?
i eat a ton of tuna and i dont care i was just wondering about the veracity of my buddys claims...
 
Folks, folks, folks.
It takes a lot of mercury to kill you. You will probably just go insane....which probably isn't all that bad when you're 80 anyway 🙂
 
Most of these warnings are from the same government that approves things like paxil and recommends dosing our children with psychiatric medicine and wants to put prozac in people's water....

I call SHENS. Eat all the tuna you want and reap the wonderful benefits..
