I should know this but...

Can I eat canned tuna?? I got home from work and all I crave is a sandwich with mayo on toast. So then I googled it (which is always a bad idea) and it said that it contains mercury. OK...is this true?? All I want is a tuna sandwich.

Thanks

Yep, you can eat it. You just don't want to eat too much...like more than a couple times a months from what I remember.

Yup, my MFM told me about once every two weeks or so.

My OB said no more than 2 cans of tuna a week. So yes, just don't overdue it

I also heard no more than 2 cans a week. Enjoy!

Light chunk... is supposed to be the lowest in Hg, I think.

And, DH and I just shared 5 cans of tuna salad over the past week. It was DEEEE-lish!! I had been craving it like crazy as well.

I can totally relate! All I wanted one day a few weeks ago was a tuna salad sandwich. And today I had a craving for creamed tuna on toast. Like everybody else said, let yourself have it every now and then if you really want it! I think the albacore is worse as far as mercury content than the chunk light tuna.
