is it safe to eat tuna everyday?
is it safe to eat tuna everyday? (fresh or canned)
i heard about the mercury content in tuna.. and i'm worried bacause i've been eating 2 cans of tuna everyday for 3 months now..
i'm allergic to chicken & eggs.. that's why i can't eat it everyday..
does salmon have mercury too? i'm planning on alternating tuna & salmon starting next week..
How Much Mercury (Tuna,Salmon) is Too Much? (Quantifiable Recommendations please!)
[QUOTE=Elfie.;569715801]The way I see it is that if even the FDA (who approve minimally tested drugs that kill people, tons of untested chemicals and questionable "food" additives every year) tell you to limit your tuna intake, then holy fack balls, you'd better pay attention.
It always worried me to see my dad eating tuna. I kept telling him "Dad, stop eating that Alzheimer fish!!" My incessant nagging paid off. :D[/QUOTE]
Hi
1. Can you give us the link to where the FDA says to limit tuna intake?
2. What does "limit your tuna intake" mean? That is not quanitifiable and would be interpreted differently by different people. I wonder how much tuna (or salmon, and specfically mercury) is too much.
3. Recommendaed intake must depend on the person consuming (male/female, pregnant or not pregnant).
4. It was mentioned in this thread that selenium consumption offsets mercury consumption. I wonder if a 1:1 selenium to mercury ratio is recommended, or if it should be greater, like 2:1?
Thanks,
Al
