Avoiding mercury levels in Tuna

FatalTragedy12 · 05-03-2007, 03:22 PM

Is one can a day safe to eat? What about two? I'm a tuna+salsa fanatic and usually eat two a day, will this cause problems?

it's fine..

It's fine.

I supposedly consume 1733% over the recommended level of Mercury, and I'm ok.

no its not "fine"... it can haunt u later on.. read up on it i reccomend 4 a week that is what im doing..

4 a week? That's a little man

Isn't 7 a week alright? or 14?

switch between tuna and chicken tuna every other day you know? so one week you might have 4 cans and the next you'll only have 3

look at the back of a tin of tuna and tell me whether there is a health warning, if it was that little there would definately be one

Shoo Head · 05-03-2007, 03:37 PM

I do eat 14 cans a week, or more.

Mind you, this Mercury warning is coming from the same people that say Aspartame can give you Brain Cancer, and that too much Protein is horrid for you.

Fon7ana · 05-03-2007, 03:39 PM

thats a good point, but better safe than sorry u know..

Oh, I get you, but I'm scared of things such as mercury poisoning (Rapidly decreases your memory and so on.)

That's true about the health warning, why isn't there one on a can of tuna if it's 'so dangerous'?

So is downing 14 cans per week alright in your books? Will my brain suddenly collapse and die if I eat the aforementioned?

I'd say it was ok, I've been downing that many almost since I started, and if I see an 11-digit number one time, I can call it back out to you.

I know Pi to 1000 decimal places, and I eat a can of tuna a day.

Myth busted?

I'd say.

They always base these 'warnings' on non-substantial proof. Consume 400g of Protein a day, and don't drink any water, be a Dumbass about it, and you probably will regret it. It's the same reason that they passed a federal law, stating that off the lot ATV's, cannot exceed 80 MPH, it's the same reason 3-Wheelers were borderline banned. They base their evidence off of some Dumbasses actions.
