Is tuna safe?

[wanderlust]

I eat a can of tuna every day. Many people have been telling me that this is unsafe to do, due to trace mercury in the fish that builds up.

I'm not one of these gullible people who falls for every 'fad' belief, but I'm concerned because this could affect my health if what they say is true.

Is there any substance to these warnings, and more importantly can you back up your statement with some links?

I appreciate it. I loooove tuna

Its been discussed on this board before if you want to see all the info people dug up on it try a search (not sure what key words would work though).

It was determined by the end of the thread that its another over hyped scare issue (I.g. over 100 grams of protien will damage your liver) that should just be ignored.

Bro, I eat on average 2 cans a day on a cutting cycle, and 3-4 cans on a mass.... No mercury poisoning yet.... I eat lots of seafood, and nothing wrong... Don't worry about it

Yes it's safe. Don't worry unless you plan on trying to live on tuna alone for months on end taking in dozens of cans per day.
