tuna and mercury

ive read that you should not eat tuna and salmon too often due to the poisinous metals such as mercury. is this tru and if so how often should you eat it, and also i have one more question if i weight 190 about how many liters of water should i drink per day

I never really measure how much water I drink I just drink it, it cant hurt you.

I wouldn't call it a lie. Pregnant or lactating mothers are the only ones who need to be seriously concerned/abstain from use. Everything in moderation. Min. 1 gallon/day.

I agree freak,, the amount of mercury in tuna can be too much if a pregnant or lactating mom consume. It's too much for the baby or fetus to take in.

I consume at least 1 can a day, Of albacore solid white tuna in water. I also drink 160 ounces of water daily.

My drive to work I drink 32, at work 96 and on the way home another 32, totaly 160 for the day.

And you can die from drinking too much water. But only if you do not pass it,, i.e urinate.. A women died from drinking to much water at a radio station several months ago. Trying to win an XBOX or something like that. The contest was to consume it but not go to the bathroom. She died and the jockies all got fired for it.

And your electrolytes will be dangerously out of balance even if you do pass it. For the record she was trying to win a Wii

i eat tons of tunafish...never had any problems...thats like saying eating too much chicken will turn you into a bird...will it? no lol

**Freak** · 07-09-2007, 02:30 AM

Well its not the same though because there is no mercury in chicken.

And I kind of like the idea of tuna turning you a little crazy from time to time. Women have PMS, kids have childhood temper tantrums, men have tuna fish.

this whole mercury in tuna is a lie, just dont eat the outdated tuna, then i think you'll die. also if you're eating the tuna go for the light tuna, not regular, less mercury content...you can over hydrate though drinking too much water and you'll get headaches and such, never had it happen nor know the consequences of it, but also in that same category is drinking too much gatorade...
