How much tuna is too much?
I've been hearing all of these horror stories about how eating too much tuna is bad for you because of it's mercury content. I personally love tuna. I eat 3 oz. of it every morning for breakfast (along with 6 oz of milk, fiber one bran cereal and dried cranberries
). Are there any negatives side effects for eating that much tuna on a daily basis? Will I wake up one morning with a third ear or some other weird deformity? 
I would appreciate any information someone may have on this topic.

I don't eat that much. I just eat 1 "flavor fresh pouch" a day which contains three ounces. However, according to a web site I just left. You should take in but 12 oz. a day, which I clearly exceed. Further more, I eat albacore white, which supposedly has the highest mercury content.Originally posted by atherjen

If I havent died from it yet, you're safe.
But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

lol, the girl checking me out at the grocery store the other day commented on the 14 cans of tuna i was buying.
Apparently she got mercury poisoning from eating too much fish... said it cost her $15,000 in medical bills.
I didnt feel like arguing, though, so just said they were "for my cat."

Albacore is way to dry for me. I like the chunk light shit. The best I found is at 41cents a can. Love it.
