"Dolphins run with yellowfin tuna (less so with albacore), and in the mid-1950s tuna boats, alerted to the presence of tuna by the dolphins on the surface, began to catch tuna using encircling nets. Millions of dolphins were killed in the process; in the 1980s consumers protested with a tuna boycott. A U.S. law enacted in 1990 helped to reduce the death rate of dolphins, permitting the term dolphin-safe to be used only by companies that eschewed the nets and embraced a set of "dolphin-safe" fishing standards." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"Further degradation of the food supply is found in high levels of mercury in tuna and other seafood. The FDA recommends that a woman weighing 130 pounds can safely eat half a can of albacore tuna per week. The Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org) states that no amount of albacore tuna is safe for a woman of this weight based on More die in the the high levels of mercury in tuna fish. Sadly, there are few u.s. from too freshwater or saltwater fish that are safe for human con- much food than sumprion on a regular basis. tOO little ^a^' neres a run t'P: you kn°w that the U." - David H.

"Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises pregnant women and children to avoid swordfish, shark, king mackerel, and tilefish and to limit consumption of king crab, snow crab, albacore tuna, and tuna steaks to six ounces or less per week. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends consumption of shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish, which are low in mercury." Herring, sardines, and freshwater trout are thought to have low contamination levels and high n-3 profiles. When preparing fish, be aware that frying can degrade the levels of n-3 fatty acids." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Large sea animals, such as sharks, swordfish, and large tuna have some of the highest mercury levels of any edible seafood—and the highest levels of all are found in whales. Canned tuna is taken from smaller species and has considerably less mercury than larger tuna. Periodically, high mercury levels are also found in various fresh water species. This is especially a problem where hydroelectric plants have stagnated the waters, and where mercurial fungicides drain into lakes and streams near farmland." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"The highest grade is white or albacore tuna, this type being richer in the all important fish oils than the regular variety. Tuna's vitamins are mainly niacin and pyridoxine, of which it is a top source. Always select tuna packed in pure water, not the oil packed varieties. One of the great things about tuna is that when it is eaten, it fills you up. It is essentially pure protein. However, to make it even more filling pour a tablespoon or two of pure extra virgin olive oil into the container. This gives the tuna an irresistible aromatic flavor." - Dr. Cass Ingram, Dr. Cass Ingram's Lifesaving Cures (Get the book.)

"Something Fishy about Tuna We compared notes on tuna fish, one of the most common flavoring ingredients in cat food. Essentially, canned tuna has two drawbacks, as we saw it. First, the vegetable oil it's packed in tends to rob the feline of vitamin E. Second, tuna ranks high on the list for mercury content. (A favorite joke of mine through the years has been that with so much mercury in a can of tuna, you can hang it outside the window on a string and use it as a crude thermometer if you don't have the real thing." - Dr. John Heinerman, Natural Pet Cures: Dog & Cat Care the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"Never Buy tuna Unless It's on Sale A friend of ours likes to tell this story: A man and his wife go shopping and the woman goes into the grocery store. Noticing that cans of tuna fish have been marked down by 50 percent, she decides to take advantage of the low prices and stock up. Her husband, meanwhile, wanders over to his stockbroker, who tells him about some stock that he says is a good investment. The man buys it. A week later, when the two go shopping again, the woman sees the tuna fish selling for twice what she paid the previous time, so instead she buys chicken." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"The tiniest fish are consumed by bigger fish, which are eaten by large swordfish and tuna, so that by the time the tuna consumes his dinner, he's packing in all the mercury ingested by the smaller creatures.) How did so much mercury get into the oceans and lakes to be consumed by fish in the first place? Since the advent of the industrial age, the atmospheric burden of mercury in our environment— meaning the amount falling from the sky from waste from coal combustion, incineration, mining, coal-fired utilities, and industrial boilers—has tripled." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Paint tuna with a fruity olive oil, then grill. Serve hot with garlic bread. • Cut tuna into meaty chunks and put on a skewer. Then rub the chunks with Dijon mustard and grill. Serve hot with a green salad. • Poach tuna with bay and rosemary. Let it cool in the poaching liquid and serve chilled with a marinated vegetable salad. Tuna, Water-Packed Before you reach for that jar of mayonnaise, let us put in a word for some more interesting ways to prepare canned tuna.

"In a subset of participants from the Cardiovascular Health Study, consumption of tuna or other broiled or baked fish assessed with a food frequency was found to correlate with plasma phospholipid long-chain n-3 fatty acid levels. Among the entire cohort of 4775 adults 65 years or older followed for 12 years, tuna and other fish consumption was associated with a 27% lower risk of ischemic stroke with intake of one to four times per week compared with an intake of less than once per month [93]." - Ann M.

"Eat your sushi, especially salmon, herring, and tuna. A Sure Thing? There have been a number of epidemiologic population studies to determine the influence of fish consumption on cancer risk and mortality. Unfortunately, the results have been mixed and contradictory. These results are in stark contrast to the consistently favorable results of laboratory experiments on cell/tissue specimens and animal species. There are some very logical reasons why the population studies have not provided clearly applicable outcomes." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Another important aspect of avoiding further exposure to mercury is to stop eating fish that are contaminated with it. tuna is by far the most commonly eaten fish in America, particularly among children, but it contains such high levels of mercury that the federal government now recommends that it should not be eaten more than once per week and that it should not be eaten by pregnant women at all. Other fish that contain high levels of mercury are large fish such as swordfish, shark, and sea bass. These fish are not appropriate for children. • Other Foods with Toxins." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Furthermore, our oceans are so full of poison, especially mercury, that it's now unsafe to eat more than one can of tuna per week. Also, our foods have been fouled with chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics to a level that was unheard of twenty years ago. The total toxic burden on the average American is measurably higher than it was even ten years ago. 2. Nutrition Deteriorated. The average intake of essential nutrients has steadily declined since the 1980s, and the eating of unhealthy foods has increased." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Increase fruits, vegetables, legumes (especially soy), whole grains, nuts and seeds, olive oil, and cold-water fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, halibut, and sardines). necessary dietary changes have a significant advantage in being able to age healthfully and reduce the risk of heart disease. Lowering the level of trans fats and saturated fats while increasing omega-3 fats and monounsaturated fats from olive oil are keys to a nutritional preventive approach to heart disease." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "In part, this may be due to the methylmercury content in fish such as albacore tuna, shark, sword-fish, king mackerel, and tilefish. Methylmercury is a known neurotoxin. no / Supplementing with fish oils should be done with purified fish oil supplements, which can reduce or practically eliminate exposure to mercury, PCBs, dioxins, and pesticides." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Are you a tuna head or a china bean?" Millie asked the cabdriver. When he didn't reply, she said, "Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me, like Tony Blair!" He drove even faster than cabdrivers usually do in Manhattan. "Do you want to see the device that Hider inserted into my vagina last night?" Millie asked the psychiatrist in the ER. The doctor, clearly more experienced with mania than I was, emphatically said no. Millie responded by telling the doctor that his breath was bad and that he was a closeted fag. I fully agreed with both of these pronouncements." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)
