I fucking love tuna. I could happily eat 4-5 cans of it a day, forever. Instead I eat around 6-7 cans a week because i'm concerned about mercury poisoning.
How much tuna do you guys consider safe to eat?
>>35317229
2 cans a week MAX unless you want dementia.
>>35317265
Source? Sounds to me like you're full of shit.

A guy on a fb forum ate 3-4 cans a day for 8 months, his test showed his Hg levels was sky high. The doc insisted he didnt eat more tuna
>>35317265
you cant absorb mercury through your digestive track so you can potentially eat pure mercury and survive
Sardines are a pretty good alternative. Roughly 21 g of protein in a credit card-sized can with a thickness comparable to a deck of cards.

Why eat canned tuna when canned salmon exists?
I've been eating a can a day for months.
Will I be Okay? I don't like other meats...

Let see you drink a gallon of mercury and see what happens. Retard.

you seriously should limit your tuna-intake. There are manmade causes for mercury in nature but most of it (about 90%) is natural and not avoidable, not even in the future.
Still, the concentrations are so low you could probably eat as much as this >>35317309
guys friend.
Maybe look out for a brand with not that much mercury?

Tbqh, I don't know for sure family. As a marine biologist, I'd advice you to not overdo it, but I'm not an expert on the "safe levels" of intake, so I really can't tell you an exact dose.
I just know for sure you wouldn't want mercury poisoning. I'd say a can a day or 6 a week shouldn't be harmful, but again, I'm telling you now I'm no expert.
>worried about mercury
what are you fags pregnant or something?
Mercury is liquid metal. How awesome is that? Why would you not want that inside your body?
>>35317510
yes

I have been eating one can a day (sometimes two) for almost three years. Always had tune on my diet since it's a great, quick and protein rich.
What kind of symptoms should i feel?
Am i going to die?
>>35317510
7 weeks :(

A professor at my uni once drank a small cup of mercury because he was annoyed by all those hurr durr mercury poisoning comments.
He still brags about this story so I guess he was right
What an interesting turn of events; I've been considering mercury poisoning as the cause of my sickness for the last week or so. I eat 370g of tuna a day and have been doing so for the last two to three months. I feel nauseous and bloated and have had squirty poos for about a week. I'm going to ask my doctor about it tomorrow but I'm not sure if it's too late I might be dying anyway so it doesn't really bother me.

The science shows that there is no reason bodybuilders should cut tuna out of their diets due to the current mercury scare.
One can of chunk lite a day is a reasonable and safe intake for a 200lbs man without the risks of any health problems.
If you want to eat more tuna now make sure to increase your consumption over the course of several weeks so your kidneys can adjust.
Adding 1.5 gram of NAC to your diet is a good idea so you can keep your glutathione stores full and your liver healthy.

I don't know how you can enjoy canned tuna and not canned salmon.
I don't really like the basic taste of either, but mostly I just eat the salmon, skin bones and all, either with hot sauce or concealed in a properly cooked meal.
Even if you do prefer tuna, the fact is that salmon is healthier in pretty much every way. Much less mercury, much more omega 3, and lots of calcium from the bones.

I don't live by the ocean, and sometimes I like not having to cook to get some easy protein.
>>35317229
switch to sardines... they have the lowest mercury contamination .. high DHA and B 12

One can a week is the most likely safe limit. Seriously, tuna and swordfish are extremely high in mercury.
