Mercury in fish....here's a solution to get around that
Last Saturday, in Message #1330, I told you that fish is a near-perfect food -- except for one thing. Most of it is contaminated with mercury. In my search for a way to eat fish without ingesting mercury, I learned that sardines are one of the few that are almost always uncontaminated. Since then, I have enjoyed a few cans every week.
Not only are most sardines mercury free, they are also very good for you. Culinary writer James Villas said it well when he wrote, "Ounce for ounce, sardines provide more calcium and phosphorus than milk, more protein than steak, more potassium than bananas, and more iron than cooked spinach." On top of that, they are an excellent source of CoQ10, Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D.
If the thought of crunching on bones doesn't appeal to you, there are boneless, skinless brands to choose from. They don't have quite the same nutritional value, but they taste a lot like canned tuna and are a much healthier choice. Portuguese and Moroccan sardines are considered to be the finest. If you can't find them in your local grocery, consider ordering from Vital Choice or Blue Galleon.
I don't know the name of the publication that this was taken from (I DID NOT write it) a bud of mine that gets a powerlifting newsletter sends me little clips of things he knows I'm interested in and he sent me this one. Interesting I thought.....btw, I hate sardines.

Anytime I've had sardines in the past I found them to taste like raw ass.

Never had raw ass myself, I don't think they have that on the West Coast.
We have fully cooked ass, parboiled ass, deep fried ass, steamed ass, over-easy ass, scrambled ass, blanched ass, and sasafrass ass.

If Im eating say... 4 cans of tuna or solid white albcacore a day..what kind of risks are we talking from the mercury? I've heard this plenty of times about mercury in fish, but just how detrimental to your health is this going to be. If you care to elaborate on it a little bit I'd be open to listening.
