    Lads,

    Do you reckon eating 200g of tinned salmon every day is a good idea. All this talk about Mercury etc

    i think if the mercury thing was a real threat there would be warnings on the cans. I eat canned fish every day too, well 5 times a week maybe.

    I heard somewhere that coldwater fish don't have the same issue with Mercury, so if it's something like wild Alaskan salmon ya should be ok. I'll pop back when I find where I read that..

    Edit: I've only managed to find some stuff about salmon being a "low mercury fish"...

    On another note: how can farmed salmon be advertised as some sort of w-3 super food when what they're fed negates the actual benefit of eating salmon? I haz confusion (w-6/w-3 ratio)...

    Nutrition-wise what's wrong with farmed salmon? Most farmed salmon are fed with other fish so they usually do have equivalent w-3 levels.

    And to answer the OP. 200g of salmon a day is a great idea. :D
