Warning for all of you - Tuna in brine.

So most of you might remember my 'Is 2 cans a day safe?' thing. It is, but please don't buy Tuna in brine.

Last night I got delirious, got the chills, an insane headache etc. I had to be taken to the hospital for severe dehydration. According to the doctor my sodium levels were 'off the charts' and it was like 'eating table spoons of salt without having the water to dilute it' (I drink a gallon of water a day.)

My brain shrunk in size due to the dehydration causing a pressure on my CSF and giving me a splitting deadly headache. I had to be put on a saline IV instantly or I would have died.

He said if you're ever eating tuna again buy it in vegetable oil, not in brine, ever and also, At maximum eat 1 can every 2 days on training days, on off days eat 1 per day.

Just a little warning to you all. Drink your water.

Brine is NaCl (Salt.) in water. Remember, these are INDUSTRIAL concentrated solutions you're dealing with.

When you buy tuna in brine, your supposed get rid of it and have the tuna alone.. Thats what i do and eating it with all the brine is nasty.

I do that, but the tuna is SATURATED in salt, It's been bathed in it for months.. The cans are put on the shelves a long long time after packaging. It's like a pickle in vinegar.

fataltragedy man up and drink your brine

I eat 3-5 big ass cans of tuna a day in brine.

Never happened to me, your water intake must be very low
