Different people need different substances in their bodies. The first day I hauled hay in high school the guy helping me load would drink two sixteen oz bottles of ice water per load. So I did the same. I started to get this really horrible feeling, and I was saying “This hauling hay is bad.” The next day I realized my mistake, and I drank much less ice water. I was fine the whole day. That was when I realized people need different amounts of different things in their bodies.

Tuna has a lot of mercury in it. 3 cans a day is too much. In fact, 2 cans a day is too much. It’ll build up in your system and cause you lots of problems

Yes. That’s about right. Adult men need about 56 grams. Women about 46 grams.

Too much protein is bad for the liver snd kidneys. I used to take too much protein and got liver problems in blood tests. Dr asked me if I am taking protein supplements
