If I eat 2 pounds of tuna per day, am I going to get...

...either teh geigh, teh blaque, or some other disease?

I've been eating this much per day for a few weeks now. I love it.

According to fishscam.com, I'm in the clear.

Not according to the website I posted.

I was concerned about catching teh messican (aka obesity) due to all the olive oil I've been eating, but that hasn't happened yet.

Take it as I'm saying it, I'm not so sure how seriously I'd take that site:

Frankly, why JUST tuna? It's not all that cheap. I mean, why not mix it up a bit, use other varieties of fish? While I happen to believe the mercury is an issue, another thought is that it is possible to develop an intolerance to any food that is consumed frequently and heavily.

I eat other stuff throughout the day (eggs, beef) but this comprises 3 out of my 7 daily meals.

The website says there's no problem which is why I believe it over the EPA. I don't like problems.

some kid in california developed some serious cardiomyopathy and they didn't know why. I think he eventually died and when they did the autopsy they found heavy traces of mercury in his heart tissue. When you get metals in your heart tissue they disrupt the "vital" flow of electricity throughout the heart to make it pump right. The kid was some kind high school athlete and they found that he had gone to a diet inspired by some bodybuilders where he ate nothing but cans of tuna all day. There simply is no other way this kid could have been exposed to those levels of mercury. Beleive the EPA, cause if you talk to sushi owners.....like legitimate "japanese" owners of a sushi restaurant, they will tell you they are very hesitant about tuna caught off the coast of the U.S. I personally had this discussion with the owner of a place I went to all the time in frisco. He even showed me a slab of maguro (raw tuna) that he caught after inspection and he put up to the light and you could see tiny little shiny things in the blood rivulets. Than he showed me a comparative slab that was caught in japan. So I don't care even what the EPA or anybody else say's, I saw it with my own two eyes. Case closed for me. I still eat tuna, but not like I used to.

+1. i would eat lower mercury tuna, not albacore. starkist light if you must do it frequently. The olympic powerlifter i knew who competed ended up getting mercury poisoning and it messed him up a ton. be careful....
