Eat Chunk LIGHT TUNA as much as you can when you want to eat tuna because it has the leart amount of mercury.\nEat WILD CAUGHT salmon AS MUCH AS YOU WANT but be sure it is NOT FARMED!!! You can tell just by looking at the price!! Farmed is around 3-6 $ a pound while Wild is around 10-20 $ a pound!(Id go with wild KING salmon, my fav. because its the fattiest! yum!)

I've eaten 4 or 5 a day without any problems. They will raise your blood sugar, which can be harmful.

According to the latest recommendations, pregnant women can safely eat up to 12 ounces of a variety of fish a week. Canned tuna is one of the most commonly consumed types of fish with low mercury levels according to the FDA.   Pregnant and nursing women can safely consume albacore as one of their fish choices. The new advisory tells pregnant women they can safely eat up to six ounces of albacore a week (an average sandwich contains 2 ounces).

Mercury is very deadly.  Causes a bunch of problems.  Eating fish with high levels of mercury can cause birth defects.  It can also get into your DNA.  Yes it can cause death.  If you have mercury poisoning go to the hospital there are things they can do to detox you

sure...if you will be exercising also!  But you don't have to restrict yourself to just tuna...that would get pretty gross after a while!  Just eat healthy things!  You probably won't lose 12 lbs...but you can come close!  Just get into the GYM and EXERCISE!

You're only supposed to eat no more than two cans of tuna a week because of the amount of mercury in it.

Yes, fish contains Omega-3 which is very good for you. I have always heard Salmon is the best though. I think it is higher in Omega-3.

Balanced meals.  Becareful of too much soy, there are new studies linking it with hypothyroidism (personal experience with this one) two or three servings a week is okay.  Don't worry so much about carbs, we need them, just make sure you are getting the right amounts from the 4 food groups, and exercise.

Mercury is toxic in several ways.\nAt room temperature is gives off a vapour (which can be seen if you shine an ultra-violet light onto a screen in front of which is a bowl of mercury). As a vapour it is quickly absorbed through the lungs.\nIt is absorbed through the skin but very slowly. Only a small proportion is absorbed by the digestive system if the metal is swallowed. You would have to take almost a table-spoon full to make you seriously ill or kill.\nMercury compounds are seriously poisonous especially soluble ones like the chloride. Organo-mercury are the worse as they are very readily absorbed into the tissues of the body.\nMercury is very good at replacing the trace metal elements in the body such as copper, cobalt, chromium etc. At autopsy it can be found in almost every tissue in the body.\nIt is slowly eliminated from the body taking about 70 days for half of it to leave and another 70 days for half of the remaining to go.\nIt causes a whole host of illnesses from loosening of teeth, mental disturbance and organ failure.

Both are good for the brain, but tuna with water is healthier for the rest of your body as well.  Cholesterol, fat content, etc.I don't care for the taste of tuna in oil, I prefer the water.  It's also important to choose dolphin safe tuna.

if you took a ton of it you'd probably have some stomach problems and feel nauesated. also, if you're using an omega 3 thta is fish based and the fish has any mercury in it, that wouldn't be so good for you probably...but other than that i don't think so. another thing i read said that in studies people who got took 1 gram a day were less depressed than the people taking 2 grams a day (the theory being that your body can't process it if you take too much...so it oxidizes which is apparently bad......) but then in some of the depression studies people were taking CRAZY amounts of omega 3s (like 9 grams a day) and doing just fine.

It's bad for you, most of it anyway.\n\nBut if you only eat it once in a while you should be okay.

I prefer a total EFA oil (Flax, Borage, Evening Primrose). I believe they are far better because your average fish oil(especially those obtained from fish liver) can be tainted with mercury, PCB's, organo-chloride pesticides, and dioxins. Most of them are removed by processing, but the fish oil molecules are ultimately damaged and become toxic, which in turn totally undermines your reasons for taking it in the first place. Total EFA oil has all the same benefits of fish oil, without the toxins.\n\nIt's best to get a total EFA oil blend that is certified organic. I use Udos oil which you can find in natural food stores.

Eat food and do not depend on supplements.  Have a tuna sandwich or eat something similar.

OK, while oysters are good for many people, folks with liver disease cannot eat shellfish, and that includes oysters.  I have a cat with liver disease (and I know, not related, right?) who can't have seafood-derived catfood since shellfish can and will be in there.  Same thing for people, since the liver does the same thing in cats as people.\n\nShellfish are bottom feeders.  They absorb and can't get rid of all the nasty things in the ocean, like mercury and lead.  These heavy metals are deadly to your liver.  Your liver will try to get rid of these metals and be unable to do so, leading to acute liver failure.  It is practically a guarantee that with each oyster you will encounter heavy metals due to the fact that we don't know where each piece of ocean meat comes from, and all the waters off the US, Arica, and Asia are quite polluted anyway -- no oysters for you, my dear, no matter how cooked they may be.
