"And also we cannot get too uptight about toxins in food, because…"

Nevertheless, I continue to be concerned about whether I'm exposed to too higher levels of mercury. Trouble is I love eating those small cans of tuna and by my estimate I eat too many of them.

Are my levels of methyl mercury too high? All I can say is that I don't know. That I'm still compos mentis enough to write this could perhaps be a rough indicator. :-)



Do you spend extra for albacore? That usually has higher levels of mercury than regular canned tuna (skipjack).


I usually buy skipjack when available and obvious (what type is inside the can is usually stated but with some brands it's not).


Switch to sardines!
