While mercury levels in our test were higher in albacore than in light tunas, some brands had a much larger variation than others. For example, Chicken of the Sea's albacore had 10 times more mercury than its light tuna, but mercury levels in Wild Planet's albacore and skipjack tunas were very close to each other.
None of the albacore tunas in our tests had levels low enough for an adult to have three servings a week and only one, Bumble Bee Albacore, had levels that would allow two weekly servings. The rest of the albacore tunas had levels that warrant just one serving a week, and children shouldn't have albacore at all.

The United States Food and Drug Administration recommends keeping the consumption of albacore (white) tuna to under 4 ounces per week and skipjack (light) tuna to under 12 ounces per week. These amounts should be lower for children and women who are or may become pregnant.

My daughter, who can be a picky eater, even really likes it. Our cats do too. 🙂
In for two more.

"Tinned tuna is a very low source of mercury, so people would have to be eating at least three cans a day for about six months before it really became a concern,"

For example, up north where there are indigenous tribes that eat mainly fish, their women have breast milk that are too toxic to feed their babies.
The same is true for Dolphins, the Sea's bio-accumulation of mercury/dioxin/pcb is so high, that the majority of dolphins lose their first born calf because the milk they produce is too toxic.
The problem with mercury in particular is that it is HIGHLY neuro-toxic. they can detect a marked drop in cognitive function in eating as little as 1 can a week.
