I believe its the case where if its more than 2 cans a day you begin taking a risk.

Dude, its gotta be more than just 2 cans.... I'm thinking more like 8 a day MIGHT be a problem. There isnt as much mercury as you think. There is more mercury in tuna steaks from a store or butcher than in the cans as well.

they say seafood 2x / WEEK can put you at "risk" ... there are several exogenous factors like.. where the fish is from , what type of fish (bottom dwellers have the highest concentration) and if it's canned or fresh

yeahyeahyeah biomagnification and all that good stuff. learned about it in micro last semestre, i just didnt remember any numbers.

the actual amount of mercury in canned tuna is less than tuna steaks

canned tuna comes from smaller fish
larger the fish the more mercury

but i would not personally eat more than two cans 24/7/365
