how much mercury is there really in a can of tuna? enough to really hinder you? can cooking it get rid of any of it? ..and finally, how does mercury affect you...besides death of excessive amounts? ive read its ok to eat it twice a week, but im exceeding that, and am not sure if im damaging my body. thanks!

Mercury can cause insanity I think.
I remember reading that mercury used to be utilized during hat production, hence the term, "Mad as a hatter."

From what I've heard and read, it's Albacore tuna that has the highest concentration of mercury. I ususally eat about 4-5 cans in a seven day period but I buy Chunk light in water. probably doesn't taste as good as Albacore but it's significantly lower in merc. I don't know if 4-5 cans is still too much but I drink alot of water too so maybe that helps flush some of the toxins out. just my .02

You would not want to cook it off and inhale it anyway, mercury once in your vicinity is not good period.
Most people do not have adverse reactions to it, but yes it will F up your brain. Mercury is what created the "mad hatters" of old, I dont recall why they used it in their profession though.
