I haven't, but maybe someone else can chime in.Have you ever looked into the organic vs conventional mushroom cultivating techniques?

I've noticed that mushrooms (just about any variety) are standouts for zinc/selenium. And for people that have given them up due to digestive issues, I have a new suspicion that maybe those are actually due to their sugar alcohol content rather than the fiber. I keep meaning to see if there's varieties that are lower in sugar alcohols.
Onlookers were horrified at the amount of mushrooms I was eating in my mushroom-crazy phase. This was before I realized they were causing my gut to sound like Godzilla.That's a lot of mushrooms :)
Is that based on NutritionData.com? It seems like they use ~15mg in their calculations, whereas I'm seeing it at 8-11mg. Assuming that's a reasonable RDA, the 0.7-0.9mg in 100g portabella, straw, oyster, and "standard" mushrooms isn't too shabby.Others are about 3% RDA.
Recently I have seen people discussing eating tuna on the forum, can anyone enlighten me why eat tuna? I thought it's pufa fat and mercury is an issue?
I know we should eat oysters for zinc, but I'm
not sure where to get selenium from? Seafood? Is anyone taking zinc/selenium supps instead of food? Last time I ate oysters I got food poisoning so not so keen on oysters these days and besides can't get tinned ones where I live.
Thank you!
Is canned tuna really that bad? The wild planet one seems good, they say they use smaller tuna with less mercury. I like the taste way more then canned oysters which are gross. I dont know if there is so much more pufa then what is in eggs and oysters which I already eat.
I mean I am sure there are better fish options (like the one Peat says he eats) but if you're looking for something less expensive and convenient canned tuna seems good. I don't know any other fish that taste decent canned.
There is no iherb UK. Just iherbthank you, never particularly liked the taste of tuna anyway. I just checked and found out that iherb UK ships tinned oysters to my country, so I'll try that.
Tuna has Selenium which helps you process any mercury in it
If it was 500 years ago, I would eat fish. But even Peat said "The ocean isn't such a great clean food source anymore"-RP
I think all fish and seafood is likely contaminated with industrial pollutants such as mercury, dioxins, neurotoxins, arsenic, DDT, putrescine, AGE’s, PCB’s, PDBE’s, alkylphenol endocrine disruptors, and even prescription drugs that end up in rivers and streams.
And all fish is fatty fish. If we can accumulate in our tissues the pufa in coconut oil and butter then we can certainly accumulate the even more pufa in all fish and oysters, yes including tropical warm water fish too, especially if you eat it often.
3 oz of yellowfin tuna has a MUCH better fat profile than eggs which Ray also recommends as part of good diet (assuming the eggs are quality of course).
3 oz of tuna has 0.1 grams PUFA and 1 egg is 0.6 grams pufa, plus the ratio of saturated to unsaturated is better with tuna.
Yellowfin has 0.2 grams saturated fat and Ray has said the ratio of saturated to unsaturated is important.
