Bor, I'll post a Time magazine article from the head of Harvard's toxicology department who kinda says the same thing.

Maybe the awesomeness of all the olive oil and garlic I mix with it will cancel out the mercury.

The problem with heavy metals is they're very hard, if not impossible, for our bodies to remove. Nothing good cancels it out.

Put it this way, you start getting weird ass neurologic symptoms, like restless legs syndrome, unexplainable numbness or tingling in fingers or toes you might want to consider getting a heavy metal screen and quit cold turkey, that's all.

The other problem is that when you're more toxic from mercury it impairs your thinking and you start uh, well, going crazy (the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland was mad because hat makers were nuts from inhaling the mercury vapors during the process of curing felt).

Anyway, I'm not saying don't eat tuna, hell, I eat the stuff myself, but 2 lbs. a day, most days, is a bit much.

Be well, man, just be well

Bor, as a half guido I tend to bathe in olive oil and occasionally use it to season my water.

I do eat only starkist light tuna, which apparently has less mercury.

Take this while you are eating your tuna.

Arizona Natural Products Calcium Disodium EDTA -- 500 mg - 100 Capsules - Vitacost

It will completely bind the mercury in the tuna. Take it about midway through your tuna meal. It will work best if you are not mixing the tuna with other stuff like pasta, i.e tuna salad.

EDTA is not a "natural" or herbal product. It's an industrial product. It will bind minerals in your gut like a motherfucker so go easy with it.

You might be more prone to get M.S. due to mercury content

Good lookin out. Hopefully this binding shit will turn me into a Magneto type supervillian.
