Question

Can you help me? I am VERY concerned about this Salmon/Tuna issue. As I virtually live off Salmon and Tuna, eating Salmon 1-2 times a week and Tuna 4-5 times!!

I don't eat red meat but do like chicken, but I thought I was eating healthily? I have only just found out my diet may have SERIOUS health implications.

There are several sites out there but they all seems to offer conflicting advice, I seem ok health wise (the only bad health points are itchy skin and memory loss) I now really want to know if I'm slowly poisoning myself with methylmercury as I'm classed as a high risk cancer person and have to get a mammogram once a year.

Explanation / Answer

Well, there is talk about various nasties that you might get in predatory fish like tuna from the open ocean
