mercury in tuna.

[toufeksian]

Tuna, and other fish with higher mercury levels are unsafe for PREGNANT WOMENT and CHILDREN. Everyone else is ok. If you search, I posted some links and other info on the women's board a while back.

ok ... this is the most stupid thing ever , the mercury will affect either a woman , a men , a pregnant or a children , it acumulates in your body and it will damage your nervous sistem ... just to mention one thing

pd: dont eat seafood

Mercury accumulates in your body and can do all sorts of damage. The good news is you can detox your body of mercury assuming you remove/avoid the mercury source. I don't eat ANY seafood because of mercury, PCB and other contaminates. I do allow myself to eat wild salmon or tuna every once in a while. I couldn't imagine 5-7 cans a week of tuna. Maybe per year, but that's just me

how do you detox from mercury?

Type mercury detox in Google. You'll have enough stuff to read for the next month. I'm working on getting my amalgam filling (only have on thank god) out soon. It's a risky procedure due to all of the mercury vapor created in the removal process, but it'll be worth it.

A sample paragraph from one of the dental websites:
"The safest strategy we know for mercury detoxification is to rely upon the body's natural glutathione pathway. This strategy is based on chronic use of 3-5 grams of Glutathione Precursor amino acids per day for periods of months. Glutathione's role is detoxification, blunting the toxicity of mercury, and excretion of mercury out of the body. Glutathione excretion of mercury is slower than with chelating agents, but beleived to be much safer providing a person with the other benefits of increased glutathione in the process."

However, nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury. For most people, the risk from mercury by eating fish and shellfish is not a health concern. Yet, some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child's developing nervous system. The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in the fish and shellfish. Therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are advising women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to avoid some types of fish and eat fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.

I read something somewhere that said black tea (Lipton - iced tea, etc) would flush mercury out of your system. Being from the south I drink plenty of iced tea - unsweetened of course.

Unfortunately I cannot remember where I read that.

I'm Scandinavian and I grew up on fish not mention my ancestors. Some sort of natural protection had to develop over time. I eat about 4-6 cans per week, but no other sea food. I think I'll be alright.
