question about tuna

craigistheman7 · 02-17-2007, 06:43 PM

ive heard its bad to eat so much tuna a week cause it has mercury or some shit like that in it is that true?

Yeah it does have mercury. I used to eat 5x/day and now only eat it maybe once/month.

I think the recommendation is 12oz/week max. I have also been told by an RD that only pregnant or lactating women have to worry about it. With that said I would stick to the 12oz/wk if I were you.

Everyone has different perspectives about tuna and that is what keeps the debate alive. I think it will suffice to say that too much of anything is bad. Balance is important in all aspects of life.
