I'm posting this because consumer reports and the FDA recently did studies on canned Tuna and its saftey in regards to pregnant or nursing women. It has long been believed that canned tuna does not contain a harmful amount of mercury and is safe for pregnant women to eat.

Well the FDA did a study a found small traces of mercury in canned Tuna...and although they did not deem it unsafe to eat....the urge to eat in moderation

Consumer reports did their own study and found that the amount of mercury in canned tuna varies from harmful to safe amounts too much to deem it safe to eat while pregnant or nursing....they urge that pregant or nursing women steer clear of canned tuna


the article is in this months issue of consumer reports.
