    Plus mercury poisoning?? Lol. Thanks for the laugh at least.

    Yea, I guess wiki, the FDA and sites like Got Mercury? are all wrong and you're right.
    Wikipedia should never be quoted as a source for any kind of scientific debate.
    The FDA is wrong about a lot of things.
    Got Mercury sounds the teeny-weeniest bit biased.

    Wikipedia is right 99.9% of the time.
    The FDA is right 99.9% of the time.
    Got Mercury? is a site run by people trying to raise awareness after research found the risks, and because people think they know better even when facts are presented to them.

    If you choose to believe it's false then good for you, have fun poisoning yourself.
    1. I don't particularly like tuna.
    2. You sound like you're on a crusade.

    Big fish are likely to have higher conc of metals because they are higher up in the food chain...
    If you eat a lot of sashimi, you are also likely to be ingesting mercury.

    Wiki is not a reliable source but you can always check the original source, if you can be bothered.
    Oh no I'm a big fan of sashimis :noway:

    I LOVE TUNA!!!!!!!! Tuna's awesome. Mercury poisoning, lol. Yeah, probably if she's eating that entire cupboard everyday.
    Always a health scare, hey? Always something wrong with whatever a person is eating. Btw, don't eat egg yolk, you'll gain 500 pounds in a day. Don't go near bacon, the salt content will almost certainly give you an instant stroke. Don't go anywhere near bananas, you'll poison yourself with potassium and step away from diet soda because the government have this conspiracy to combat over-population so what they do is put ACTUAL CANCER IN EACH CAN and watch us all drop likes flies.
    Can i get a resounding PSSSHHH.
    Enjoy your tuna, i'm jealous.

    I believe if you ate too much, it could add up but *shrug* better safe than sorry. I think the egg yolk thing is more ab cholesterol than anything. I eat egg whites just to be safe. I like whites better anyways. I don't eat bacon either, actually I just dont eat pork lol I never heard the banana thing tho. I used to eat a couple bananas a day for a while. I do think diet soda and artificial sweetners are bad for you. But hey, that's just me.

    Too much of anything can be bad for you. Remember the woman who died from drinking too much water?

    Yeah, man, it is...and i think we should all have respect for each other's choices. What works for one doesn't work for another. What concerns one is not a priority of another and it would be lovely to all co-exist in the knowledge that each of us here is doing what's right for us as individuals. I guess it just irks me that people come into threads like this, post a link, bring someone else's choices down when they could have just either said nothing or had some respect for the fact that the person posting is doing their best and choosing healthier options than they have before. All power to you, all power to tuna-haters, all power to people who swear by it. All power to us all and God help us if we don't remember the golden rule. EVERYTHING in moderation. 'Cept water. Drink that stuff up. *Waits for someone to post a link about drinking too much water and how it causes drowning*. :tongue:

    True, true...and if that was the case then that's cool but there's so much out there on what people shouldn't eat...and not just here, i mean everywhere, there's always a horror story. It depresses people that are new to being healthy or even not new to being healthy. Conflicting info is confusing and depressing and makes making healthier choices even more of a kerfuffle than it should be 'cause people get hung up on all the delicious foods NOT to eat and less focused on all the delicious foods to definitely go ahead and eat. Sometimes i do wonder why we're not all rocking back and forth in a dark room enquiring about the carbs in an aspirin or something, lol.

    HAHAHAHA I thought it was cat food! Yes, you look addicted but hey, there are worse things to be addicted to. Last year I went through a huge bottle of Tobasco sauce every other day. It was turning my teeth red. So just make sure you don't see or feel anything bad happening and you should be fine.

    Also I figure if Sir Isaac Newton could basically mainline mercury for years (before he went insane and died in his old age) I can eat fuark loads of tuna.

    Nothing wrong with that logic at all.
