Tuna The French nickname for tuna is “la poubelle de la mer,” which means “garbage can of the sea.” All tuna has toxic levels of mercury and should be completely avoided for optimal health and body composition. Tuna does contain omega-3 fats and a lot of protein, but the toxicity level sends it straight to the list of worst foods for body composition and health. Mercury is a metal that can cause numerous medical problems, including damage to the brain, kidneys, immune and endocrine system. Take Away: Avoid tuna completely, but include small cold water fish in your diet for a nice dose of omega-3 fats. Opt for salmon, trout, white fish, sardines, and anchovies, and round out omega-3 intake by taking DHA-rich fish oil. #Food4Thought
