What’s it like?
One time, I ate a whole Mercury and my tuna levels went through the roof!
I started eating tuna in college, back in 1975. Probably have eaten an average of 2 cans per day since then. I have eaten nothing but tuna for 5 days straight on three occasions. I have had ZERO problems related to mercury in tuna.
There are some theories that the selenium in tuna offsets, neutralizes, or helps eliminate mercury from the body. I have no clue if that is true. All I know is that I have eaten close to 25,000 cans of tuna over 34 years.
The only problem I have encountered related to eating tuna is having to listen to someone who read a government study or saw something on the internet about how tuna is chockful of mercury and I should be dying any day. Typically there is a positive correlation between their insistance that I cut back to one can per week and their level of obesity.
I rank the “mercury in tuna scare” right up there with anthropogenic global warming, but it gives the EPA and the environmental extremists another justification for their existence.
Wasn’t safe for Jeremy Piven.
