Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The big hullabaloo about mercury levels in tuna didn't really include canned light tuna, because, presumably, it has always had a much lower mercury content than white tuna. However, Consumer Reports analyzed the FDA data of canned light tuna and found that some canned light tunas do indeed have at least as much mercury as the regular white tuna.
While most canned light tunas have only about 1/3 the mercury of regular albacore tuna, 6% of the CR's samples had the higher levels, which could pose a health threat to pregnant women and developing fetuses. The FDA has not warned consumers about this potential risk because they do not see it as a problem.
Consumer Reports answers ten crucial questions regarding the mercury levels in canned tuna, and also offer some fish alternatives that have little to no mercury risk.
