How much Canned Tuna can I eat?
You may have noticed that there are different opinions about how much tuna you should eat. Some sources state that one can weekly is fine, other sources say that you have to eat three cans of tuna every day for 6 months before there will be any adverse effects. Either way, Tuna doesn’t need to be a staple of your diet. If you’re not eating canned tuna all the time, it’s a great option for an occasional meal.
The concern with too much canned Tuna is the mercury levels. Again: if you’re not eating it ALL THE TIME, you’ll be just fine.
