Mercury Poisoning from Tuna: How to Make Tuna Safer to Eat
Mercury Poisoning from Tuna: How to Make Tuna Safer to Eat
| |
Since tuna generally contains extremely high level of mercury, it's not surprising to hear or read real stories of people becoming sick, especially those who eat 2-3 cans of tuna daily. Tuna contains significantly more mercury than other fish such as Cod, Halibut, Pollack, and Salmon. If you are one of these tuna fanatics, there is hope.
Because in the tuna fish mercury is often stored in fatty tissues you can broil it away. Here are the steps to take to make eating tuna safer for you and your family:
1) Open the tuna can and throw out all the juices.
2) Wash the tuna in a colander to decrease the sodium levels.
3) Place the tuna on a broiler pan.
4) Toss the pan in the oven.
5) Lastly, throw away any of the juices from the broiling process.
You'll be able to know the difference; this is even more true if you consume a lot of tuna daily like how I used to do in the good old days. In addition, it doesn't hurt to do a heavy metal detox just to be on the safe side. I have learned how deadly mercury poisoning can be first-hand such as making you extremely tired and disrupting your sleep cycle. If you are experiencing any number of health related issues, too much mercury trapped inside your body may be the root cause. This is another and better reason to do a heavy metal detox.
