I pretty well stick to frozen Alaska pink salmon for my meat.
Ecologically sustainable as well as being as low in pollutants
as just about any fish on the planet.

Thanks John. I have bookmarked the page. You page provides some answers to
the questions that preyed on my mind. I am worried that my diet, which
incorporates a lot of tuna, might have some damaging long-term effects. I
am trying to learn a little more about how to reduce the risk.

Why don't you get tested for heavy metal tocixity?

Here's a sample:

There are ways to detoxify from this [censored], if necessary.

What about the canned Red sockeye Alaskan salmon? Seems the reports on
that are still good.

There is very little fat left in canned tuna. Salmon, small mackerel and
sardines are better choices as they are higher in EPA and DHA and lower in
mercury.

Thank you for the answer. It was very useful as well as re-assuring.

Why do you eat tuna after all?

Low fat; high protein; quick to serve from a tin. Mercury is probably the
only worrisome factor.

Why should it be low in fat? Fat in fish is healthy; it contains EPA, DHA
and DPA.
