Help with taking tuna!

[jamesz36]

I can eat loads of tins of tuna if i place it into a bowl and mix it with vinegar... i cant hack the taste of it.
It makes me heave if i dont mix with vinegar.

just wondering how bad for me putting it with vinegar is. help please?

Why "take" it at all if you don't like it? It's not medicine.

It's the tuna that poses a significant health risk in quantities about 6 to 12 ounces per week.

eating chicken or something else instead of tuna

The vinegar is fine but really it should be the least of your worries

Tuna contains high amounts the heavy metal methylmercury (MeHg).

See, Quantitative approach for incorporating methylmercury risks and omega-3 fatty acid benefits in developing species-specific fish consumption advice. Ginsberg GL, et al. Environ Health Perspect. 2009 Feb;117(2):267-75. Full text at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...HP-117-267.pdf

See, also Good fish/bad fish: a composite benefit-risk by dose curve. Gochfeld M, Burger J. Neurotoxicology. 2005 Aug;26(4):511-20.

See also, Health benefits and potential risks related to consumption of fish or fish oil. Sidhu KS. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol. 2003 Dec;38(3):336-44.

Also, a helpful free tool to look at is the NRDC mercury calculator available at: http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/m...ator/start.asp You just enter the types and quantities of fish you ate during the past week and the calculator will estimate your average daily mercury dose and it will tell you whether you are consuming a safe or unsafe amount of that type of fish.

The impacts of heavy metals including MeHg are discussed below:

I don't think that you understand the basics of the safety issue. Heavy metals are chemical elements with a specific gravity that is at least five times the specific gravity of water, which is 1 at 4°C. The specific gravity may be considered as a measure of density of a given amount of solid substance, when it is compared to an equal amount of water. For example some heavy metal specific gravities are: Arsenic, 5.7; cadmium, 8.7; iron, 7.9; lead, 11.3; and mercury, 13.5. As these heavy metals are not metabolized by the body, they accumulate in the soft tissues or in the bones causing toxic effects. This is not something limited to tuna or swordfish and mercury. You obtain heavy metals basically by either ingesting them or inhaling them. You can ingest heavy metals from other foods you eat. For example, if your vegetables are grown in contaminated soil, they can take up metals by absorbing them from the soil. The same vegetables can also absorb metals from polluted environments as the plant is exposed to the air.

Methylmercury (MeHg) is very toxic, and impacts the human nervous system when ingested. This is a fact, whether or not you are experiencing whatever symptoms you perceive necessary to trigger concern.

boooo

came in to say exactly this

[alex2363]

mix it with relish.

[WonderPug]

mix it with relish.

Great way to get the same level of toxic heavy metal exposure.

Tuna contains high amounts the heavy metal methylmercury (MeHg).

wow thats intence hanks dude. im reading it over and over again. im not the brightest, what am i to look out for? toxic effects in soft tissues and bones, i mean i feel great and always do. i dont get any aches or pains in bones or muscles. guess i need to cut down on consuming this stuff thought it was easy protein.

When/if you get pain, it's kind of too late...

[jamesz36]

ohhh things always too good to be true i mean, crack open a tin mix in vinegar down it, 30g protein consumed in seconds no cooking or anything... how many tins should i be taking per week... net weight drained tin is 130g tuna

[WonderPug]

how many tins should i be taking per week... net weight drained tin is 130g tuna

Between one and two cans per week, depending on the type of tuna.

If I was worried about my intake of tuna, I'd tell my doctor about it and ask him for advice.
