Canned Tuna

[SkylineGTR]

I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about canned tuna. I was watching the news but I can't exactly remember what it said, but itwas something like it was bad for you b/c of high amounts of mercury or something like that. Then, my g/f come back from the chiropractor, and hands me this paper that says toxic foods to avoid and one was tuna!! I eat like 2-4 cans a day....anyone know anyhting about this?

[DamnYouMSN]

if that was true i think most of us would be dead by now...

Its bs the amount of tuna u need to eat to get mercury posiniong is insane.. So eat up

[BADASS323]

i belive most of the precautions are regarding pregnate women

[SkylineGTR]

I didn't believe this either...but when I told my g/f that it's bs....tons of BBers eat at LEAST 2 servings a DAY of this shit....there would be more cases....but she doesn't believe me b/c she is TOTALLY ANTI- bodybuilding..

[JohnboyF]

man i feel u but its the mass media bs. eating 2 cans aday is not determintal i think i was eating 5 aday for abt 1 month. im fine.. Eat up

To reduce the risk stick with chunk light and not white albacore tuna as it has the highest concentrations of Mercury. Also, while this may not have been much of a problem to date there is the possiblity that as this is a pollutant related problem it may be a steadily worsening condidtion. And while we may think it is safe thus far, it should be noted that chronic HG poisoning is very subtle and not readily identifiable on the surface of it's symptoms. I still love the stuff mixed in with my eggs so I don't know what I'll do if it does get worse.

Yeah, it gets tough to tell what is media bullshit and what is valid. I believe also that it would take ridiculous amounts to affect a healthy adult but definitley detrimental to preg. women.

You ain't kidding, I just did a google for "Tuna Mercury", holy shit batman, everybody is against the stuff.

[NCNPC29]

It's nuts... the way the media can spin and mold shit in the general publics mind is just frightening and shocking....Christ, they've made "Roid Rage " a house hold term..

I like to blend my tuna with some peanutbutter and some lime gatorade..... Makes 3 servings, Martha would be proud.

[mickdiesel]

thats gross, but supposedly mercury poisoning is a slow steady thing that will more affect your kids than anything. can also affect you skin with the sun and vitd. i dont know, thats what i read

Too much of anything is bad.

shark, mackerel, and sordfish have about three times more mercury as canned tuna(BTW canned or fresh is about the same). shellfish have about three time less Hg than the majority of fish. good news if you like crabs, lobster, shrimp and crawfish.

[~busta~]

I personally eat 2 tins on tuna a day either with pineapple or just on its own and im perfectly fine. So just enjoy and dont worry about that media bs

[SwoleCat]

Tuna reminds me of bad pussy.

I stick to canned chicken instead from Costco, Kirkland brand.

I only eat tuna once or twice a week. I stick to other forms of protein. Tuna may be convinient, but it gets nasty after awhile, and now this...I think I'll stick to my twice a week and enjoy my turkey chicken breasts.
