Most likely exagerated media hype at work again.

This is a subject that has been batted around quite a bit. Yes, there are trace amounts of mercury found in tuna. There are also trace amounts of toxins in many of the things that we consume on a daily basis.

you are damn insane

and yeah, this mercury shit ive heard forever, i even have a friend who trys to justify it by saying when "bulked on tuna he got confused all the time from mercury poision" ... i just said i doub it?

I think you would have to eat about 30 cans a day to get the toxic levels. HELL KIWI you are DAMN CLOSE

Yes, the best thing to do is go have your mercury level checked. Simple process, have your bloodwork done and ask them to check for mercury. My mother is a nurse and shes having a fit about me eating so much tuna. The mercury wont effect you now but down the road it can fuck you up, and it will always stay in your body. I have yet to have mine checked cause i think its all bulloks but i have slacked off eating it some.

Do you mix it with anything?

I eat 6 tins a day and mix it with chopped cucumber & tomatoes (2 tins at a time).
I find it too dry by itself.
