I did a quick search on Google.. http://www.google.com/search?q=mercury%20in%20tuna

Pretty much I've found that pregnant women should stay away from canned tuna just to be safe.

Also, everything says for albacore tuna. Now, when it comes to tuna, I have no idea what the difference is between when one goes to buy albacore tuna and when one buys chunk light tuna, but does this mean that you shouldn't worry if all you eat is chunk light? Because that is all I ever eat.. I tried albacore once and I don't like the taste.


Also, the study that the FDA did.. they only tested 48 cans, finding three cans contained mercury above the accepted levels of sale. 3 out of 48, in one test? Is the FDA that limited on funds that they can't test more than 48 cans of tuna???


Oh, and regarding the chuck light.. on this page http://kids-md.com/Tipsheets/133_jul1603/tuna.asp I just read this quote:
"When you look at the canned fish, if that's what you enjoy, then reach a little higher to where the Alaskan wild salmon is, and the sardines are, because that has much less in the way of some of the toxins," Dr. Hightower says. "And if you're going to eat tuna, then chose the chunk light."

So I guess it's a good thing that I've been eating chuck light after all
