With all the recent studies concerning mercury and pollutants in our Oceans that make they're way into our fish, how much tuna or fish can an adult safely eat?
Though I hate preparing it, I can't think of a better, cleaner meal to eat when looking to eat a high protein diet. I'd be pissed if i couldn't eat it with some frequency.
If you are worried about tuna you could eat salmon. It has
less mercury than tuna, and has more healthy fat as far as I
know.
Good question. I also was eating a tuna sandwich a day mixed with mustard. Then I keep hearing about the mercury stuff and was getting worried about how much can I eat without getting the mercury poisoning.
i hear no more than 3 cans a week. also, i hear farm raised salmon has alot of mercury also.
You can still eat lots of tuna.
I eat at least a can or two about every day. I love tuna.
what about the chicken kind from star fish i think its called
Do you mean "Chicken of the Sea"?
I've been eating 1-3 cans per day, 4-6 days/week for the last 7-8 years or so, and I haven't had any problems (that I know of, anyway). There are at least 3 tuna boats out there there are still operating just from my tuna intake... ;-)
