      Mercury in tuna

      Supposedly, there is quite a lot of mercury in in tunafish, which sucks since I love the stuff, and it's a really good, lean source of protein.

      My question is; how bad do you guy think it really is? Is there some reasonable upper limit on how much tuna someone should eat?

      Isn't there a ton of mercury in Swordfish? People still eat it anyways. I suppose it's fine in moderation as in not eating six servings a day.

      The main risks are birth defects (for pregnant women) and retardation/dementia, so it just depends on how much you value your intelligence relative to tasty sammiches.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      Sure beats looking for a mercury thermometer.
      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      I eat a tuna sandwich like everyday (as its the only good thing that they serve at my school) and I'm not crazy yet.
