how much tuna do u reckun u eat in a week? this aint a criticism but are u aware about the mercury content in tuna?

about 8tins a week, 2tins 4days a week. No i didn't know about that, it must be at safe level or they wouldn't be aloud to sell it..? i look at protein and then the flavours :roll:

yeah thats what i initially thought but that's not the case. check out this site

Man you're damned if you and do and damned if you don't huh....mercury in the tuna....salmon has less mercury but the tinned variety comes from North America where they have high levels of PCB (toxic and carcinogenic) in the food chain (TV 3 today).....:? Looks like it is NZ salmon steaks for me now

[gazza]
