Quote from redsrule2500 : I understand that it is introduced obviously as part of being a fish; but I was under the impression that canning added additional mercury to the product. (See my previous posts for link to study) Good image btw

Sorry about that, missed the link to the study the first time I read through the thread.
Interesting results. Not sure what conclusion to draw from them though since I don't know enough about industrial canning. I've done home canning and there isn't any part of it that would add mercury, but things are probably very different on the scale of a canning factory.

My uneducated guess would be that since the samples they were using had lower-than-average mercury levels the additional mercury came from contaminated canning equipment at the Oregon Ocean Seafoods facilities. If, literally, tons of tuna are all being processed on the same line it seems like some amount of mercury would be left on the various conveyer belts and thingamajigs and end up being transferred between samples.

Industrial food processing facilities are pretty gross.

This was based on SUPPLEMENTS...what about natural ways of consuming o-3 ?

That article is about *supplements*. I didn't suggest supplements were worthwhile. I pointed out that the health benefits of eating salmon - the good stuff in it - far outweighs the potential negatives. If a car drives down your street emitting chemicals that statistically aren't good for you, it wouldn't be wise to abandon your daily three-mile run because of it. The benefits from the run far outweigh the negatives of the pollution.

Quote from TampaRacing : Local dollar tree has these at a buck a piece and no sales tax. Not a good deal IMO

Roughly the same price. Will Dollar Tree also deliver free?

I pay extra for "red" salmon in a can. That stuff tastes good.

I don't believe that the 5oz tuna sized can has 2.5oz of water, but someone correct me on this.

Quote from snotrag : Pink Salmon is just a little better than Chum Salmon (aka Keta, Dog). I'll pass and leave this to people that don't know what good Salmon is. Your cat will probably like it...

My Gramma always called pink salmon cat salmon. Now way I would eat this. Go to market basket and get a large can of sockeye for 5.50.

Quote from snotrag : If you really like Salmon, Chinook/King is the only thing to eat. Chum Salmon was first called Dog Salmon, they have canine teeth. People started calling it Chum because it sounded better. Keta is the scientific name. They aren't too bad smoked; yes I know they're hard to light.

For those concerned about PCBs, Wild Alaskan Chum Salmon has the lowest levels. http://www.news.cornell.edu/stori...n.ssl.html I don't care about PCB levels, as I believe the health benefits of salmon make the variance in pollutants trivial in comparison, but for those who believe otherwise, Chum isn't to be overlooked.

Quote from satanslover : No Tax in CA!

because CA does not charge sales tax on food.

is this dead? Showing $21.xx from thebarecupboard

Do dogs like this? Any problem giving this to dogs (i.e. too much sodium)?

so all natural salmon is actually white, and pink is coloring...

would not eat.
