Actually, the study I think you're referring to was on
farmed salmon from around the globe, and the findings were that, depending on the country/region the salmon comes from, there could be risks associated with high levels of PCBs (that come from bioaccumulative impacts of feed regime). The jury is still out on how this could affect the body, however. The USDA and Canadian Food Inspection Agency dispute that the levels discovered in the lab are dangerous for consumption either once a month, or once every two months.
If you -are- actually referring to a study on tuna, please accept my apology and direct me to the study. I'd be more than curious to see it.
...and pass the tuna. Hold about half the low-fat mayo most people add.
