You’ve gotta cut back, unfortunately. You’re on the road to mercury poisoning. Two cans a week is the max amount you should consume.

A can a day isn’t going to give you mercury poisoning, but 14 cans consistently for a long period of time might. I’d definitely recommend taking a tuna break!

Yes please don’t eat that much tuna, you can get mercury poisoning from it

ok david lynch you’ve been warned. unless you’re already a famous filmmaker, i would cut back. i think other foods come in cans though, like chicken. spam lite, even.

I have a family member that started having seizures because of this diet causing murcery poisoning. Sorry. He still enjoys the occasional tuna melt.

Omg nooooo, idk if you use TikTok but there was this influencer, Emily Mariko, that made these salmon rice bowls that got super super popular in like 2021/2022. Anyways, there was a girl who watched one and started making it with canned tuna as a cheap delicious meal, and she ended up eating it every day and got super super sick for like a whole month straight, went to the doctor and found out it was mercury poisoning 😭 I remember seeing the video on my feed and going back to look at her other videos and the sickness seemed AWFUL! I know tuna is cheap and delicious, but consider a different fish with less mercury ❤️❤️

I feel for you OP… I love tuna. Sucks that it’s got literal poison in it. Maybe try canned salmon, mackerel, sardines? Any smaller fish I think would be better.
That said, although it has lower levels it is not zero levels. I would suggest seeking out an alternate protein and keeping it under 6 cans a week (the advice, as I understand it, for albacore tuna). Up to you tho.

A family friend got extremely sick, like was admitted to the hospital sick for eating too much tuna. They were hospitalized for like a month. That’s how I learned about how dangerous too much tuna is. Please op, find another protein fix and cut back on that tuna.

If it helps I feel like this is a common experience, falling in love with tuna then learning you can’t eat it all day every day

Please listen to everyone in the comments. I was eating a can a day and ending up with super mild mercury poisoning. I started getting headaches and my doctor tested me after he asked me if there had been any dietary changes and I told him how much tuna I’ve been eating. The headaches went away after I stopped eating so much tuna, and now I never eat more than 1-2 cans a week.

I can’t wait to see this on r/oopsthatsdeadly
Looks like you are in Canada, and the advisory there is for albacore tuna, not light tuna.
