    mercury levels

    Im eating about 3 cans of tuna a day.

    Now im being told and read online that this should be a concern due to the mercury levels in tuna???

    I also ram a pile of shrimp and fish into me to...... hmmm

    Anyone else have mercury concerns?

    Have u notica a strong smelly stinky pee?

    Thats what i get if i do moré than 2 cans my fríend masters in nutrition said that its better to buy it in the market instead of just the cans ... U won't have that problem with the mercury

    also u might wanna look into soy meat replacements... They offer high protein different taste and different texture for ur stomach.... It's nice to vary from ti
    e to time
