I recently saw that you shouldn't eat more than 2 cans of sardines a week because it contains heavy metals, is that true ?

[Anonymous No.19279779]

depends, do you work near any large magnets?

Fish and shellfish concentrate mercury in their bodies, often in the form of methylmercury, a highly toxic organomercury compound. This element is known to bioaccumulate in humans, so bioaccumulation in seafood carries over into human populations, where it can result in mercury poisoning.

It's just Wikipedia. The fuck is wrong with you? It costs less effort to search for this info than to make this thread. Yes, fatty predatory fish aren't very good for you. But you need them anyway.

i'm sorry I don't understand what you are saying

I think a man that eats more than a couple cans of sardine a week over prolonged periods of time has already given up on life so it's not like this matters at all.

No that isn't true at all. Sardines are at the bottom of the food chain so they don't accumulate heavy metals like tuna. Whoever told you that has no fucking clue what they are talking about.

Yes it's bad to eat alot of.

[Anonymous No.19279843]

They do have levels of mercury and stuff but you’d have to eat an unreasonable amount of sardines to even get sick, like hundreds of pounds of deenz.

Sardines your fine, tuna probably not

[Anonymous No.19282294]

>>19279777
Yeah and sardines are the GOOD fish, in terms of heavy metals, because compared to everything else in the ocean they have the least amount. That's how bad it's gotten. The best fish you could eat, 1-2 times a week MAX. Tuna is more like 1-2 times per year, and Swordfish is like never in your entire life.

And mackerel?

[Anonymous No.19282339]

>>19279808
not only that but their life cycle is so short they don't have time to accumulate any significant quantity of heavy metals.

[Anonymous No.19282482]

>>19279777

It depends on the heavy metal being consumed
