no fish for 8 days and i feel better
i think tuna is bad
anyone know anything?
Tuna is one of the lower mercury fish if canned; .17 parts per million while fish like salmon have non-detectable amounts so eat more of that...the Omega's are worth it! To me, salmon and tuna are fine but I don't eat the ones' on the large content list below. Actually, fresh and frozen tuna have higher amounts than the canned tuna. I personally rather have the salmon, however, it comes fresh and also canned.
The first number is PPM(parts per million) and the second is Omega Content.
Here are the top mercury containing fish to avoid or eat very sparingly:
PPM Omega
Shark 0.96 0.90
Swordfish 1.00 0.70
Tilefish (golden bass or golden snapper) 1.45 0.80
King mackerel 0.73 0.34
I eat a lot of cold water fish. Most all fish in the US has some Mercury poisoning. Even farmed fish. The thing to remember is to eat Wild Alaskan fish. (Levels of methylmercury in studies in all samples of Alaskan salmon, wild and farmed, are extremely low, well below FDA and WHO action levels). Alaska fish has been stated to be free of mercury. I had a hair sample done for mercury and it came out clear. I mostly eat Wild Alaskan Salmon. Alaskan Sockeye salmon has the highest level Omega 3 oils of any fish. It is rather expensive since I have to order it online, but in my opinion it's worth it.

The moral of the story is don't overdo anything!!
Fish is only recommended 3 times a week. Three normal size servings of fish a week will not cause harm, especially with the fish on the low mercury list. Avoid the ones with the large levels of course. Salmon shows up on the charts as ND, non-detectable so it is very safe.
A good extra source as far as supplements go of Omegas is Flax Oil or flaxseeds, or eating nuts and some special eggs they have out now that have more Omegas because of what they feed the chickens.
Maybe I'm wrong???
