Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I had posted that " I think " the albacore tuna is supposed to be fairly safe. Someone may know something else or it should be researched.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Shortly after you posted that last time I read that albacore tuna is the highest in mercury. I think in the article light tuna was consider better. Right off hand I don't remember the source of the information. I will try to find it. I would light to know what the correct answer is.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 If I remember rightly, Vital Choice is the best tuna. I remember because several months ago several of us decided to split a case in a coop order.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I was thinking that albacore was the light tuna.

This has got me really wondering. It's a whole new area I've not heard about. I was aware that there were some foreign people (Japanese I think) who ate fish caught in waters polluted by factories but never saw any evidence of that in the US. I know mercury concentrates in fish and animals if it's present in the water or environment. Is there some hidden mercury poisoned patient sanitarium I don't know about or something? Hey, I've been clueless before so is everybody turning into thermometers or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I bought Natural Value Tongal Tuna from Thailand because it was recommended as low in mercury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 It has been 20 or more years ago they traced mercury to canned tuna that was causing damage to fetuses. And the new mercury trouble -- it is used as preservative in vaccinations and may be contributing to the very rapid increase in autism.
