I never acknowledged the stories, I thought they were [censored] since I ate so
much tuna and I felt fine. People should learn from my mistake.

No you should learn from your mistake. You're just a voice on the
internet to us. At some point you acknowleged that it may be a problem,
otherwise you'd not have made this post.

So basically you seem to be making 2 points: The first is that any post on the
Internet is dubious. This puts your own posts, your own "voice" in jeopardy,
and basically accomplishes nothing for the purposes of discussion in this
thread.

Well as my 'voice' hasn't made any claims to which a claim can be
attached, I think it's relatively safe from jeopardy.

Your second point to me is the more interesting, workable one:

Quoted message said:

What's vague is your assumption that the 2 are linked. For all I know
you enjoy chewing thermometers, or had, one day many years ago dived
head first into a pool of mercury, etc etc.

This one I can clarify by saying that I do not have, to the best of my
knowledge, any other exposure to mercury. I don't even eat other seafood except
for canned tuna, I've never handled a thermometer, lived near a power plant,
etc, etc. And I will follow up with a post of my mercury levels after the
cessation of tuna consumption in a couple months, to help clarify.

To me this second point of yours suggests you too are in denial as I was. If
you eat a lot of fish, perhaps even some lets say of the canned tuna variety
(which given your handle you might), you might be also surprised at your mercury
results. Or your symptoms down the road.

noono, I'm not in denial, more of a self satisfied, smug, pompous,
arrogant type of feeling I get when I hear horror stories that spring
from excess.

Hey guys,

If you think all these mercury poisoning stories are [censored], and like a lot of
lifters you eat a lot of fish and you feel OK, take a test!

A friend of mine became seriously ill from mercury poisoning.
He was dedicated to lifting, and ate a lot of tuna.
What's really tragic is that bu$h has appointed former
industry lobbyists to regulatory positions throughout our
government. He owed them big time for buying him the
presidency. At the time of bu$h's appointment to the presidency,
the Clinton administration had been suing about 100 of the
worst coal burning polluters for exceeding EPA emission
limits. As soon as bu$h took power, he ordered the EPA
and the justice department to stop the prosecutions and he
also changed the law to increase toxic pollution limits.
Our air quality has suffered greatly as a direct result
of bu$h coddling his corporate owners. Asthma is also at
record levels, and most women have so much mercury in their
bodies that if they reproduce, their children will suffer
a slight degree of decreased brain function.

Here's what happens to steel framed buildings exposed

On 9-11-01, WTC7, a 47 story steel framed building, which
had only small, random fires, dropped in perfect symmetry
at near free fall speed as in a perfectly executed controlled
demolition.

Hey guys,

If you think all these mercury poisoning stories are [censored], and like a
lot
of
lifters you eat a lot of fish and you feel OK, take a test! I woke up
quickly.
I've been having 2-4 cans of tuna a day for the last 7-8 years or so, given
that
it's a nice inexpensive, easily accessible, easily edible and abundant
source
of
protein. Though I have no negative symptoms yet, I recently went for a
test
because my wife was worried. So my blood tests show that I have 26
micrograms/liter. You're supposed to only have 5-6! And I've actually
been
eating less tuna than ever now that I'm married and my wife cooks - I've
'only'
had it once a day for the last 8 months or so. Even if I totally stop now,
I'm
at risk for the delayed onset of mercury poisoning (sometimes it takes
years
until you develop symptoms).

He'll probably think you're bullshitting him and ignore it until he

Couldn't it also be possible that what you

In this we agree.

If I ate twenty-eight cans of tuna a week for eight years, I'd die of
boredom before the mercury ever got me. Sheesh.

I don't eat for fun, I eat to be healthy and grow muscle.

Yeah, poisoning yourself is a great way to be healthy.

Wht eat weird [censored] like tuna anyway? Go with chicken breast - more protein
for the buck. I've always been a breast man ... :o)

What is [censored] is that there are no warnings on tuna cans saying not to
eat a
whole can more than once a week, when there are plenty of warnings on say
bottles of aspirin for something as obscure as reye's syndrome in kids
under 18
who take aspirin.

I guess I'm going to have be less lazy and start cooking things. It looks
like
it's egg whites or chicken breast for me from now on. I hope this reaches
someone as I would've liked to know 10 years ago!
