Canned Tuna and heavy metals?🐠 by Aajonus Vonderplanitz. Tuna contains naturally occurring Mercury. Vaxxines contain 100000x more mercury than fish.

Raw is best. Some brands advertise low mercury tuna, but they are all still cooked.👇👇 pic.twitter.com/m95tqShmUF
What about the heavy metals in salmon including wild caught salmon. This is a deep rabbit hole. So Aajonus talked about this, which I think was really interesting. He said that when you cook fish, the heavy metals are released into the your dish. So if you're cooking up fish, like, for example, tuna that's high in mercury, and you cook it up in a pan and you hit it with heat, the metals are released. So when you go to eat it, you actually begin to absorb the heavy metals and then you come down with heavy metal toxicity. But when you eat it raw, which think of sushi; people eat it all the time raw; every time they go out for sushi, they're having raw fish, the heavy metals just pass right through the body because the fat molecules will actually hold on to that metal and allow it to go right through the body. So cooking is quite a rabbit hole, that's for sure. Cooking up all your foods all the time is pretty much pasteurizing your foods. So the whole heavy metals in salmon and the heavy metals in tuna, a lot of people don't talk about the cooking process. That's what it is. And when you get into canned tuna, you know all those canned tunas that they're selling people at the grocery store, they're already cooked 250°. They've already been pasteurized before you bought them. Same with salmon too, as well. So that's why people get this heavy metal toxicity thing and it's just nuts. And also what the cans are lined with too as well, and then the plastic. That's why you want it as wild as it gets, as fresh as it gets, that's for sure.
