Min. Mercury Tuna- Safer to eat than most store-bought tuna

Safer to eat than most store-bought canned albacore tuna * A recent survey conducted with canned albacore in U.S. grocery stores showed that one can in 20 exceeded the FDA "action" level of 1.0 ppm of mercury. * Test results show the amount of mercury in Carvalho Minimal-Mercury tuna to be 0.2 ppm or below—less than 1/5 of the FDA allowable standards of 1.0 ppm. * Safe for women who are pregnant or nursing, women who are considering becoming pregnant, and young children. * Ideal for anyone wishing to eat tuna and greatly limit their consumption of mercury.
A recent survey of canned albacore tuna in U.S. grocery stores by the Mercury Policy Project showed that one can in twenty exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "action" level of 1.0 ppm mercury—the point at which the FDA takes action against the manufacturer.

Unfortunately, the FDA does not always take action—and most U.S. mass canners of tuna continue to demand the older, larger fish that have been feeding longer and, thus, have naturally accumulated more mercury. These tuna can end up on the shelves of U.S. grocery stores.

What that may mean to you—particularly if you are exposed to high levels of mercury found in fish (swordfish, shark, tuna), drinking water, mercury dental amalgams, inoculations, and more—is a potentially toxic mercury build-up in your body. Some symptoms of mercury toxicity are unexplained fatigue, headaches, joint pain, memory loss, and more.

You say that if things were harmful, they wouldn't be on store shelves, well you have much to learn.

Look up these ingredients:

saccharine

aspertame

partially-hydrogenated oil

fluoride

butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)

potassium bromate

just to name a few toxic ingredients that are on store shelves and are harmful.

Kinki University in Japan solved this problem.

They have succeeded in complete culture of bluefin tunas. So we never need to get tunas from sea with their way.

The new way market of safety tuna is growing in Japan now.

Safe Harbor is the only company that can test the exact mercury levels in fish and offer mercury tested seafood to the public.

i have to disagree with your statement, there has been great study in this, if it were as harmful as you say it wouldnt be in the store shelves. Mercury isnt hard to flush out, it has a half life of 3 days in the body and 90 day in the brain. Your body excretes any ammount of mercury that is in excess, mercury is a necessary metal just like copper and zinc however it has no function in the body but its still necessary. I dont know any person that got mercury posioning from eating too much fish

That's true, large predatory fish, over accumulative, time contains much more ppm of mercury than smaller fish.

The problem is, once in the body, the heavy metal neuro-toxin is difficult to flush out. Having said that, I can't recommend eating any fish at all nowadays because no fish is mercury free, just one fish containing more mercury concentration than that of another.
