Mercury levels in tuna under the spotlight again

If you're an avid eater of seafood -- like Salmon and Tuna -- you've probably heard that the mercury level in certain sea-faring fish can be high enough to offset the positive health benefits that seafood has to offer (outside of fried seafood, which is not healthy in most cases).

Even albacore tuna, which is considered the high-end of tuna, can have dangerous levels of mercury that has made many Canadian experts (among others) state that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding (and young kids) should limit the amount of canned albacore tuna they eat.

Although healthy adults generally will have no complications (that we know of) from eating canned tuna with mercury contamination, the immune systems from children and developing children could be at risk, hence the recent warning here.
