DCP Concerned Mercury in Tuna

[bright sparks]

I limit fish in general, but tuna is one of the worst. Mercury is the leading cause of miscarriage and heavy metal toxicity is also a major factor in early childhood developmental illnesses and all that can result in. Now regardless of your standpoint on these facts and whether or not anyone actually cares about this, the best advice I was ever given by numerous holistic nutritionists and naturopathic doctors was this. Wild, small and white. I always laugh at the white part but its a rule of thumb. There are a couple of smaller fish that aren't white. Tuna is a big fish and has much higher levels of mercury, and farmed fish are awful for so many reasons. My son is vegetarian but eats fish. He will eat fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there are days when he does.....although I certainly don't encourage it lol it's typically when I work outside of the house on a PA day and come home to ask what my kids ate all day and I could pretty much bet all my money on that being his entire meal plan for the day I stock my freezer with frozen wild caught portions that are caught here in the wild in Canada.
