Mecury Question Help

[Guest guest]

I am starting to work Fish and Fish oil suppliments into my diet. Should I be

worried about Mecury in Fish and Fish Oil suppliments? I would like to consume

Tuna and Salmon from a can. As far as a suppliment goes I would like to take Cod

Liver Oil suppliments from Puritan's pride.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, diet can sometimes be tricky, one does

not want to harm themselves by trying to eat better.

Thank you!

Maddi,

I was told years ago to avoid any Tuna, it all comes from the Pacific and as

such is contaminated with Mercury. Plus be careful where the Salmon comes from,

some salmon farms are also in the Pacific.

I think that canned tuna and salmon are problmatic for containing mercury. Farm

raised fish is also contaminated. Eat wild caught fish, the smaller the fish the

less chance of mercury. If you want to add fish oil I would consider cod liver

oil instead. It has a better EFA profile. I buy Green Pastures Blue Ice

Fermented CLO. Other brands that test for mercury are Nordic Naturals,

Carlson's, Garden of Life Icelandic CLO.

Canned salmon is Alaskan wild-caught: it's safe. Canned albacore tuna is higher

in mercury than " light " tuna because albacore is a bigger fish and higher on the

food chain.
