i dont recommend it..we learned in toxicology that tuna contains mercury in it. even if we eat enough of it, we can be effected. i have never gone near the stuff, and now i never will LOL.

Pregnant women and children are not supposed to eat more than a few servings per week of salt water fatty fishes like Tuna, Swordfish and Halibut due to high levels of mercury. A great substitute is farm raised Salmon. It has a lot of the same omega oils, but none of the mercury. Free stream Salmon might have similar issues, but the farm raised stuff, while not as tastey, should be ok. I think either the FDA or the Agriculture Department posts recommendations.

Hi, I need to clarify the info on salmon. I have done a lot of research on salmon because it is a good source of protein for me since I don't eat meat. However, I was so disappointed to find out that there is no salmon that is truly safe. However, it is wild caught salmon that is OK to eat in moderation. Farmed, also called Atlantic, is not nearly as safe. It is not necessarily the mercury that is a problem, it is PCBs, dioxins and pesticides.Originally posted by Kallie/Catcher's Mom+Feb 19 2005, 03:20 PM--><!--QuoteBegin-saltymalty@Feb 19 2005, 12:13 PM

I heard even pregnant people arent suppose to eat much seafood because of the mercury--someone told me, it would make the baby slower or something.

Sher, I heard the same thing too about the farmed salmon containing the higher percentage of PCB's and other chemicals. There are several salmoning farming operations along the coast here. Much controversary surrounding them too! Not only what they feed the salmon but also the fact that there are several hundred salmon in one small area, think of all that salmon poop! Too many salmon in one small area! At least when salmon are swimming freely there is not a build up of salmon poop in just one small area, it is dispersed throughout the ocean and salmon migrate over a very large area. I will eat the wild salmon but definitely not the farmed salmon![]()

Last week, I gave up all meat and dairy and everything that had any of that in it (except honey). I've heard too many things..... Meanwhile, I'm doing great with this new vegan lifestyle! Turns out I may have been lactose intolerent for years and just didn't know it till I gave up the dairy! Cookie is also off the barf diet. She won't eat fruits or veggies, so it isn't the best choice for her. She's on a commerical kibble now and no more runs. Noodle is eating whatever the heck I give him and positively thriving on it.
Saltymalty, cream cheese is made with milk. Milk has blood and pus in it.![]()
