1 can of tuna a day...

[duhfewcha6]

is that harmful because of the mercury...or is 1 can nothing to worry about it when it comes to that?

[KryptoKnight]

Tis fine, don't worry about it.

[slaydox]

Yea i wouldnt worry about it.

[ChicAndRice]

I've never personally had a problem. I eat more than a can a day. I've never heard of anyone having a problem with it.

But, here's a link that says other wise. FDA doesn't recomend it.

wow good find...that just seems rediculous tho...if anything i would think every other day ....but every 3 days...good lord

[FUBAR1]

Didn't they have one of these not too long ago?

[msundi83]

i eat a can of tuna most every day

[BluntMan420]

Have at it man! I do it...no problems here.

[ChicAndRice]

Because I'm a dork...

Here's a link to the EPAs findings.
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/sea-mehg.html

High levels of mercury cause developmental problems (motor skills, speach, etc). Levels that cause problems in adults (such as brain damage) are mainly seen in diets that are primarily seafood. I don't think that adults (not pregnant or nursing) would have to worry too much about the amount of mercury they are getting from the tuna.

[duhfewcha6]

maybe ill do it every other day just in case...im only 20...dont need any brain problems haha

[jerusalem_Beef]

Who cares i eat sometimes up to 4 cans a day love the stuff mercury lol haha

[El_Scorchio]

if you never eat things that were not that good for you, i think you would find that you wont be able to eat much at all.

Red wine was supposed to be bad for you 10 years ago, but today one glass a day is supposed to be good for heart disease.

Coffee is also supposed to be not good for you,


Eat as much tuna as you like, when you get mercury posining worry about it then mate.

Don't worry : i eat 2-3 cans of tuna per day since 4-5 years.....i'm still alive and in good health.

[just_ace]

I eat about 3 cans a day too, nothing to worry about imo

Good luck with the rest of your lives if you keep that up!

[Vadim Beliaev]

I eat a lot of tuna too, for at least 4-5 years. Tbh, if you believed in all this bull**** propaganda they love to spread around, you wouldnt be able to eat much at all. (Remember egg yolks anyone? ).

I eat a lot of Tuna too, but do you honestly think that 3 cans a day for 5 years is a good idea??? If you had a young child and they LOVED tuna would you allow them to eat it like that??? I'm gonna have to say you probably wouldnt chance it...

[naten186]

so how can you tell if you have mercury poisoning?
Cause man I've been feeling "woozy" lately.
Though I've only been eating on avg 1700 cals/day w/ a 6 day workout week, i'm still kinda afraid...
1-2 cans a day of chunk light

Same with me. I eat at least one can per day and never had a problem.

http://www.defenders.org/tunamercury/report.html - a study showing the EPA's "measurements" are bunk.

Keep in mind that methylmercury's halflife in your body is about 2-3 months. A heavy metal hair test after eating the tuna for a while should give you some insight into the safety of the diet...

As for me, I like to rotate proteins. Fish one day, chicken the next, beef the day after...keeps variety and stops me from being bored.

[Luski16]

yeahh tuna's the $hit...i eat a can just about every day, probably only 5 or 6 cans a week at most...either way, its cheap quality protein, so eat up
