How bad is tuna really?
If I eat everyday two small (120grams drained) that I add my own olive oil too, is that gonna kill my gainz (life) from mercury?

So you drain the oil then add oil?

No it's drained as in not in brined water
Then I add like a teaspoon of virgin olive oil to make it taster nicer and not be dry

The Environmental Protection Agency says it's safe to eat up to .1 microgram of mercury per kilogram of bodyweight per day. The Center for Disease Control says .3 micrograms per kilogram.
I weigh 180kg, which means it's safe for me to eat 8.2 to 24.6 micrograms of mercury per day.
The foil pouches of tuna that I eat one of every day contain 74g of light tuna, which apparently contains about 9.45 micrograms of tuna per day. Which means that I eat slightly too much according to the EPA, but well within the safe limit according to the CDC, and the EPA numbers are extremely conservative (basically the safe amount for pregnant women).
120g of light tuna per day would be about 15.33 micrograms of mercury. Albacore tuna has a lot more mercury though, apparently.

You're already dead. You just don't know it yet.

Serious question...How did the ancient peoples on purely fish diets not get mercury poisoning? Don't a lot of islanders eat fuck tons of game fish?
Furthermore, I read a long time ago that the high level of selenium in the fish was what stopped the fish from being poisioned itself...does the selenium content prevent us from getting it from fish? Has it been proven that eating lots of tuna will raise mercury levels significantly enough?

variety of fish?
They ate whatever they got maybe it's all a conspiracy.

>So either one can is too much or two cans per day is okay.
No ambiguity there.
