Too much tuna - bad?!

Too much tuna - bad?

recently ive just been on a tuna binge. i have no idea why. i just love the stuff. i know tuna salad, especially if you order it out, can be just as unhealthy as the next thing. although recently i heard that theres mercury in tuna. how much tuna is too much? and what could this mercury do??

i dont eat it everyday, but defiantley multiple times a week if not every other day.

Hello;

Actually,the health recommendations are that people eat tuna NO MORE than twice a week because of the high levels of mercury in the tuna fish. There have been reports that women who have eaten tuna fish while pregnant,have given birth to children who eventually suffer from autism,that is why women are cautioned about not eating tuna more than once a week if at all because of the mercury.

I am not trying to scare you by telling you this,but any woman that I have talked to whose child has autism,they have told me that they ate ALOT of tuna fish while they were pregnant,because it tasted good and they didn't realize that there was so much mercury in the tuna fish.

I don't know if you are pregnant or if you have any children,but if it were me,I wouldn't consume tuna fish because I just think that it is too risky. I hope that I have answered your question and been helpful?
