Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Unfortunately in these times Mercury is a concern when choosing to eat fish. According to these tables SALMON tests very low to non- existent for mercury contamination. The levels in canned/fresh/frozen were not detectable in all samples tested. I used to eat a LOT of Tuna (fancy Albacore nontheless) until much to my astonishment and chagrin I discovered it was full of it. What I am getting around to here is I want to eat more fish for the obvious health reasons but I don't want to load up on mercury (also for obvious reasons). This is like a catch-22.. darned if you do darned if you don't :-| So, my question to all of you is what do you do? Do you eat fish? If so, what kind and how much? If not, why, and what do you do to 'make up for the difference'? Canned Salmon would be very very convenient and inexpensive (I think it was who said about buck and half per can). The problem I have is why does Salmon measure so low in mercury? I find it hard to believe but on other hand I have no reason to dis- believe. ;-) Again, what do YOU do? TIA. Here are tables (very well laid out i might add): http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/sea-mehg.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
