Tuna!!!!!!!!!!!

total_idiot99 Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/12/14	2003/12/17, 08:52 PM I have noticed a lot of people talking about tuna. Sounds like it is a pretty popular health food. I have never thought of it as a health food. I myself love it, too. I eat a tun of it. Is it really healthy for you?
	2003/12/17, 09:17 PM Hiya total, good to see you back. Tuna is low fat and high protein. Great stuff but be careful what you eat with it. A can of tuna and 3 tablespoons of mayo will defeat the benefits. -------------- Living well is the best revenge. Charlie

At first it was rarely mentioned but now I believe it is becoming more common to hear about it. After all I don't want to become a human thermometer.

I guess the mercury levels in tuna are getting worse with the increasing polution in the oceans. I am not sure how much of a problem it is for people right now, but it can't be that bad. I mean I bet everyone here eats about one can a day. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.
