I used to eat tune straight from the can, then one day had a really bad case of food poisoning (not sure if it was the tuna or not) and since then cannot touch the stuff, even the smell makes be feel sick. strange as i really used to like it before that. Same happened with whisky after i drank too much of that
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I was going to say, the tunas with oils have high levels of staurated fats.
Tend to on get the ones in spring water if eating from a can but otherwise proper steaks all the way

The tuna fish is a big, powerful fish. It's a member of the Scombridae family - which, for some reason, makes it sound faintly Scottish. Except it's not - tuna are found in temperate and tropical seas. I remember a fantastic (no doubt apocryphal) story about a supermodel who had evidently only seen tuna from a tin and, when presented with a tuna steak in a restaurant, disputed it was tuna as it "wasn't the right shape, tuna's round..." Actually she wasn't far off, because tuna are torpedo-shaped and a cross-section of their tummies would result in a pretty round-ish shape.
The tuna is a much sought after game fish, usually fished for by trolling with lures or drift-fishing with bits of dead fish. It's a predator and at the top of the food chain so it loves an easy lunch. He eats lots of other, smaller fish: herring, sprat, whiting even squid. And this, sadly is the problem. Along with sword fish, marlin, king mackerel and shark - again all top of the food chain predators - it is more contaminated with mercury than other smaller fish (whale meat is particularly loaded with mercury as they then eat the fish). And a particularly nasty form of mercury at that: ironically, considering our association with the word, one that is "organic" - methyl mercury.
Although mercury can occur naturally (volcanoes produce it), most of the problem comes from industrial pollution - paper manufacturing, gold mining, deforestation, electricity companies are just four culprits. This makes its way via rivers to the sea and ends up on the ocean floor, where bacteria turn pure mercury and mercury sulphides into methyl mercury, which is easier for fish to ingest (this was first discovered by examining hydrothermal sea vents in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand and published by the fabulous Geology magazine in the late 1990s, Vogue? Elle? Who needs such magazines).
As the little fish ingest it and are then eaten by bigger fish the problem is exacerbated - mercury levels in herbivorous fish are much lower. It's kind of ironic that this week there is a scandal about vaccinations containing a mercury-based preservative - thimerosal - when we get far more mercury from the seafood we eat (and a type of this heavy metal that is much harder to excrete).
Mercury is dangerous because even low levels can damage the neurological systems of developing foetuses. It's been linked to autism in children (although the jury is still out on this, in one study it was shown that children who later went on to develop autism had lower levels of mercury in their hair than "normal" children - a sign they probably couldn't excrete the mercury like the other children did but rather stored it in their cells). And last year a study in Brazil showed it could affect motor and memory skills in adults.
The Food Standards Agency, our guiding body in such matters advises pregnant women - not anyone else - to limit the amount of tuna they eat, with a maximum of "two medium-sized tins a week". Yet this is probably already too much (I wouldn't eat more a can a month). The tests in Brazil found that the average level of mercury in the testers' hair was four micrograms per gram of hair - a 10th of what the World Health Organisation considers to be dangerous.
See, once upon a time tuna fishing was - like so much commercial fishing - on a much smaller scale. A 200-ton tuna fishing boat was considered a veritable battleship and the fish were caught with long lines and live bait. Today fishing "boats" are 10 times that size and can deploy drag nets that can be anything up to 100km long. I think tuna is the next "farmed salmon" scandal, but for entirely different reasons. Sorry, have I put you off your tuna sandwich? Although, if you've been eating lots of tuna you may not actually remember where your sandwich is.
