If I eat a can of tuna a day, should I be worried/concerned about mercury?
Someone told me otherwise and I personally think it's not true, but it sparked my curiosity now.
This is a very hot topic right now.
There is a CHANCE...which is in unknown percentage...that your tuna may or may not affect your long term health.
I have seen the official FDA reports of mercury levels in tuna, and quite frankly, I'm shocked it's that high.
If the published levels are true, 1 can a day would be enough to cause long term negative health effects.
Personally, I have stayed away from eating fish as much as possible because of the amount of mercury present in most fish, and the inability to find a non-farmed fish that isn't prone to excessive levels of mercury.
