Toxic Tuna - How Much Tuna is Safe to Eat?Diet Wise OR Diet Bait? How many times a week do you eat tuna? If you answered more than 2, your diet could be harmful to your health... Fish can be a lean protein choice for anyone watching their diet. They also contain important vitamins and minerals - including healthy omega-3 fatty acids which have been associated with lowering the risk of heart disease, working to combat auto-immune disease and other unfavorable health conditions. A diet rich in fish should be a healthy diet indeed. Well, perhaps not. Many times, progress brings bad things along with the good. Unfortunately, that appears to be the case with much of our fish supply. Technology's run-off from the lands pollute breeding grounds, as well as fish habitats. Pollutants, or toxins (such as methyl mercury), collect within the fish - generally accumulating more in the fatty tissues than the leaner mass. TIP: Therefore, trimming the visible fat from your fish is a very good idea. The amount of toxins that accumulate depend upon the species of fish, its feeding ground, the amount of pollution residing inside its habitat and the age of the fish. The older the fish, the more toxic the specimen may be. So if your fish appears overly wrinkled, has bags beneath its eyes and a leaky gill, you might want to toss it back. But if you're enjoying a can of tuna, you don't have much to go on, so let's fall back to the wise words of the FDA, a governmental agency that helps ensure that our food supply is safe for consumption. FDA ANNOUNCES ADVISORY ON METHYL MERCURY
IN FISH "Fish such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish contain high levels of a form of mercury called methyl mercury that may harm an unborn baby's developing nervous system. These long-lived, larger fish that feed on smaller fish accumulate the highest levels of methyl mercury and therefore pose the greatest risk to the unborn child. Mercury can occur naturally in the environment and it can be released into the air through industrial pollution and can get into both fresh and salt water. The FDA advisory acknowledges that seafood can be an important part of a balanced diet for pregnant women and those of childbearing age who may become pregnant. FDA advises these women to select a variety of other kinds of fish -- including shellfish, canned fish, smaller ocean fish or farm-raised fish -- and that these women can safely eat 12 ounces per week of cooked fish. A typical serving size of fish is from 3 to 6 ounces." The issue regarding the 'safe' amount one should eat remains controversial and the FDA is currently performing further research on this health issue. At one point, I read that the state of Vermont recommended that pregnant and breastfeeding moms eat no more than 6 ounces of tuna per week and steer completely away from shark and swordfish. Judging the botched manner in which Mad Cow, SARS and West Nile Virus have been handled, it doesn't exactly plant a reassuring calm where the public is concerned and though there appears no immediate need to panic, it might be wise to limit yourself to 2 servings of LIGHT tuna per week until the public is told otherwise. And if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, get with your doctor for a professional opinion.
