The Japanese don't seem to be affected by "toxic" mercury in their seafood-heavy diet.

While this is an extreme exemple, bioamplification and biomagnification of heavy metals along the food chain can have some really damaging effects on local populations.

In itself eating big predatory fish (e.g. Tuna) isn't a problem over a lifetime exposition when cooked (MeHg is a volatile compound as opposed to mineral Hg) and/or sourced from "clean" waters/fisheries.

Ok but is it ok if I eat a couple cans of starkist every day? If not, what are some alternatives?

A couple cans of tuna a day would be a really high intake, even by Japanese standards.

If canned fish is your main source of protein you could try to switch it up with other fish and consume tuna every other day instead of daily. Depending on what's available where you live you could try to switch it up with salmon, haddock, trout or cod. Might be hard to find them canned in large quantities tho.

>It was caused by the release of methylmercury in the industrial wastewater from a chemical factory owned by the Chisso Corporation, which continued from 1932 to 1968.
This has literally fucking nothing to do with normal mercury exposure from seafood.

I've eaten a lot of tuna and never noticed any droplets of mercury in them. People get too hysterical about it, on every youtube video where someone touches mercury there's always people panicking in the comments

So if you dump "artificial" mercury into the sea it is somehow separated from the normal bio-accumulation cycle of "natural" mercury?

>Well if it's merely a molecule then it won't matter. I'll piss that right out.
The funny thing about many mercury variants (and other heavy metals like lead) is that our body has no evolutionary adaptation to them. So it's very much up to the molecule's properties and chance whether or not it gets pissed out or stays in your body indefinitely.

In the literal sense you're not wrong, but depending on the variant on mercury compound that is polluted you're talking about the parts-ber-billion needed to cause severe symptoms in adults can be very small.
And unlike ethanol and its byproducts, your body doesn't necessarily have a mechanism to filter it out, so you're really dealing with indefinite stages of less fine where a reduction of symptoms comes either from the metal settling in a relatively benign area of the body (if it does), or through medical intervention by putting you on compounds which can draw it out without worsening the situation. And neurological damage is likely permanent.
