Tuna Calculator

[taste-icles]

My co-workers once told me I needed to stop eating tuna because everyday when I come in, my breath stinks of it, I told him I had'nt had a can of tuna in weeks...


Think about it

I dont know how much the mercury effects people. about 2 years ago, I did an extreme cutter. for 30 days, I consumed nothing but 8 cans a day. no mayo, no bread. I tried ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce . and I felt fine. and I looked great. got down to 215, with my top 6 showing. but I couldn't look at at a can of tuna for about six months. I know consume 8-12 cans a week.

*barf*

Guys, the problem is that tuna contains more mercury NOW. "My dad did it" has no relevance. There wasnt nearly the amounts of mercury back then as there are today.

I thought it had to do with the amount of mercury that accumulated in the tunas body. so what would this have to do with thirty yrs ago? bro this thread is sooooo ridiculous its pointless to agrue. if you wanna be paranoid and not eat tuna then dont. if you wanna be realistic and keep eating tuna then go ahead. i dont even think we need to prove why tuna is perfectly fine to eat. coz almost every one here eats huge amounts of it, i mean something should have happened to us. at least one of us. what youre not getting bro is that tuna has such a small number of mercury in it that its insignificant.

It does. But, you are missing the fact there there is more mercury now in the waters, and therefore more in the fish.

bro this thread is sooooo ridiculous its pointless to agrue. if you wanna be paranoid and not eat tuna then dont. if you wanna be realistic and keep eating tuna then go ahead.

You sound like a smoker.

In small fish, I agree. However, in large fish, it is entirely different. It is NOT insignificant.



"The advisory comes on the heels of an extensive report issued by the National Academy of Sciences which estimates that each year 60,000 children may be born in the United States with neurological problems as a result of exposure to methylmercury in the womb."










BTW i have eaten thousands of cans of tuna. I have been tested, have had very high levels of mercury, am currently on DMSA therapy, and have all the classic symptoms of mercuty toxicity. But yeah, insignificant.


PLEASE read some. I was looking for, but could not find the FDA fact sheet about large fish, Many types of fish of X number of inches they recomened that you do not even eat a single bite, because of the mercury. I know kingfish was one of them.





1/3 of people die from cancer. Cancer is from toxins. I do not see how people can ignore this. I challenge all you heavy tuna and large game fish eaters to have a mercury test. The results will suprise you.





BTW, I ate about 7-10 cans a week for 3+ years, along with gamefish.

But yeah, insignificant.

so you agree... jklol

So then choose the brand of tuna. its not rocket science.

You sound like a smoker.

?ok?

Bro for the last time im not saying tuna doesnt have mercury, all im saying is this is a scare. you are the first person that i know that had to have some treatment for high mercury levels. and trust me i know ALOT of people that eat tuna as much if not more than you used to, myself included. as i said, if you want to believe this, then go right ahead, dont eat tuna, thats fine. if you dont believe it, like a lot of bros on this site then continue eating it. like i said theres nooooooo need to discuss this, we're not coming to a conclusion. this has been proven its up to you as an individual to decide if the benefits weigh out the risks. for me they do my a lot. its the same with deciding to use gear, i can argue its good or bad, all it boils down to is personal decision.

Straight out of the can, with light blue cheese dressing!!!

Too much sodium for me... canned tuna sucks ass. Anything canned is garbage.

I prefer Salmon steaks, Sword Fish or Mahi Mahi.

I swapped over to the packaged pink salmon. It tastes much better. Probably has as much mercury as tuna though.

Really, are you telling me on a steroid forum someones worried about the mercury content in canned tuna? Thats funny. I got lots more to worry about in my body than bad tuna.
