I-tuna ekheniwe iwumthombo odumile futhi olula wamaprotheni atholakala ezindaweni zokugcina izithombo emhlabeni jikelele. Kodwa-ke, njengoba kukhula ukukhathazeka ngamazinga e-mercury ezinhlanzini, abantu abaningi bayazibuza ukuthi bangaki amathini e-tuna ekheniwe abaphephile ukuwadla njalo ngenyanga.
I-FDA ne-EPA zincoma ukuthi abantu abadala bangadla ngokuphephile ama-ounces angu-12 (cishe ama-servings amabili kuya kwamathathu) ezinhlanzi ezine-mercury encane ngesonto. I-tuna ekheniwe, ikakhulukazi i-tuna elula, ivame ukubhekwa njengenketho ene-mercury encane. Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwezinhlobo ze-tuna ekheniwe etholakalayo. I-tuna elula ivame ukwenziwa nge-tuna ye-skipjack, ene-mercury ephansi uma iqhathaniswa ne-tuna ye-albacore, ene-mercury ephezulu.
Ukuze uthole ukudla okulinganiselayo, kunconywa ukuthi ungadli ama-ounces angaphezu kwangu-6 e-albacore tuna ngesonto, okungaba ama-ounces angu-24 ngenyanga. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-tuna ekhanyisiwe ekheniwe ilula kancane, inesilinganiso esiphezulu sama-ounces angu-12 ngesonto, okungaba ama-ounces angu-48 ngenyanga.
Uma uhlela ukudla i-tuna yakho ekheniwe njalo ngenyanga, cabanga ngokufaka eminye imithombo ehlukahlukene yamaprotheni ukuqinisekisa ukudla okulinganiselayo. Lokhu kungafaka ezinye izinhlobo zezinhlanzi, izinkukhu, ubhontshisi, kanye namaprotheni asekelwe ezitshalweni. Futhi, qaphela noma yimiphi imikhawulo yokudla noma izimo zempilo ezingathinta ukudla kwakho izinhlanzi.
Ngamafuphi, yize i-tuna ekheniwe iwukudla okunomsoco nokuguquguqukayo, ukulinganisela kubalulekile. Ukuze uthole ibhalansi, nciphisa i-tuna ye-albacore ibe ama-ounces angu-24 ngenyanga kanye ne-tuna elula ibe ama-ounces angu-48 ngenyanga. Ngale ndlela, ungajabulela izinzuzo ze-tuna ekheniwe ngenkathi unciphisa izingozi zempilo ezingaba khona zokuchayeka ku-mercury.
