Why Tuna Should Be Part of Our Diet:

Tuna is an excellent source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, containing both EPA and DHA, the good fats required for a healthy heart and brain.  EPA fats promote normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels, increase blood flow, and enhance the immune system while also promoting healthy skin.  DHA is needed to create healthy nerve cell membranes, responsible for mood, attention and memory. 

While mercury levels are a serious concern for consumers of the major brand tunas, Rincon Gold Premium Albacore Tuna is a canned product that falls far below even the stricter European standards for mercury.  Major brand tunas have been found to contain 11ppm and more of mercury, in one serving, while Rincon Gold tests between 0.07-0.24ppm in one serving.
