Giving up sardines

[SlipNet]

Interesting thread, I still eat mackerel occasionally, mainly because they're cheap and delicious. I'd never thought that they'd be a health risk if over-consumed.

@3DStudent did anything come up with the Geiger counter?

I didn't test it, see the post from the first page. It just seemed too impractical. And you have to let it sit for quite a while.

This reminded me of a video from Joe Rogan about sardines. In his case he was eating 3 cans a day!

I'd base it on how large they are, basically if they're about hand size or not. I'm currently eating sardines occasionally. But I was worried recently that I had eaten mackerel for too long. For maybe a year or two, I'd have them multiple times per week. And they're not a small fish, on par with salmon. I was worried I might have mercury overload. That was months ago, so not sure if it would have naturally detoxed by now if that were the case.

Was it smoked mackerel? I think my body don't tolerate smoked fish. Where it was catched?
