This video and test results are over 3 years old. Corporations always decrease their products in quality in order to maximize the ALL IMPORTANT PROFITS. Maybe an update to this canned fish study is in order?? Thanks

[@joeblow871]

I will say, the best tuna I've had in a can is the yellowtail in olive oil.

[@jeffsmithsolo]

I thought everyone knew tuna was a lowfat fish. I eat it with olive oil for this reason. Salmon is completely different because it's cold-water.

[@wizardatmath]

We didn't know.... But we're happy to hear it. I wish he'd report on the lowest contaminant tuna that has the LOWEST pufa content....

[@rockyfjord4710]

Heavy metals? What about radiation -- that's the main concern now. I need to know how to read the code on a can of tuna or salmon to distinguish Atlantic from Pacific, and I'm not talking species but geography?

[@ctuagent247]

Unfortunately this video didn't tell me which brands have more contaminates vs not

[@AY-pw7hz]

That’s what I was looking for

[@danajones3818]

They never ever do. Annoyed again. Unsubscribe.

[@daveeden2220]

Yeah I need to see the cans

[@michaeltayon9184]

I really like canned Salmon! I'd LOVE to actually get ahold of some FRESH Salmon, but being a inner city type, settle for canned. It's ok though, I use it in browned butter with basil, pepper, soy sauce, , lemon juice, and cayenne, and pour that over fresh cooked pasta, it is darned tasty! :)

[@chieftenbets2114]

You should can that for export? You'd be on millions. Cheers for the tip.

[@tazboy1934]

Butter seems to be the safe choice wen it comes to fat

[@DS-ej5sm]

Am I the only one who thought at least he gonna open the can? lol

[@mr.m8464]

What's a sockeye tuna? lol

[@tammy_lynn1628]

Typically, Fish low in omega 3 are farm raised. Farm raised fish are fed GMO’s, steroids and antibiotics. We need to find out the list of all tuna and salmon that is Ocean caught! I subscribed thinking you had some great information to share, but you have to click on your link to your website and pay to view the results 👎🏼 boo. Unsubscribing.

[@elizabethreed5648]

Wow. What an @$$. Unsubscribe.

[@chrollo7102]

This guy did all this work and he’s just asking money for working hard. You would definitely do the same. Oh by the way it’s actually free though but I’m sure you didn’t know that.

[@weelittlepeople1950]

Hi Can you also Test Tahini and Nutritional Yeast in the future? Thanks!

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

I wonder what the levels of oxidised cholesterol were. Also i think you should do a video about oils such as avocado, olive, ect tell us their level of oxidation

[@VWGG1]

How do they oxidize in a sealed sterilized can?

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

​@@VWGG1 Heat, light, time stored etc

[@takamae.]

I get a tuna in spring water, get the water out. Put extra virgin olive oil, turmeric, ginger, vinegar. Was eating it in sunflower oil for years, not very good for ya.

[@QuadiePoo]

Fish are HEAVY METAL 🤘🏻

[@ConsumerlabPlus]

Fish can certainly contain heavy metals, particularly mercury, but levels vary greatly. Our report shows major differences depending on the type of fish and product.

[@geraldbriceno7425]

I see what you did there XD

[@pdjames3042]

Could you discuss canned oysters, also curious about p65 warnings. Can you eat canned sardines or oysters daily?

[@kimgoller8515]

Thank you for those information.

[@ConsumerlabPlus]

You're welcome!

[@SassyDivine22-69]

I would imagine if you are genuinely interested in helping people make healthy food choices this information would be free. I understand everybody has to make $$ but damn where is the integrity when it comes to food???

[@ConsumerlabPlus]

There is a great deal of free information on our site, including answers to hundreds of common questions about supplements www.consumerlab.com/answers/most_popular_recent_questions.asp, the latest recall/warning posting www.consumerlab.com/recalls.asp, and our RDA calculator www.consumerlab.com/RDAs/. However, independent testing of hundreds of products each year is expensive and this is paid for by membership fees ($47.40 annual or $78 for 2-years), which provides access to our full reviews of over 1,000 products.

[@MegaSandyvagina]

I have a hypothesis I developed when I found out that the hyper-wealthy and the hyper politically connected do not eat, are not served, food with GMOs. (They also built a doomsday seed vault in Norway). Soooo...I surmised, ruefully, (seriously though) I think there is a plan, to let the ignorant unwashed heathens, (us, they mean us) eat, smoke, drink, drug, and monster truck, ourselves to an early death by the age of 62 or so, that way no one will notice social security is insolvent, and Medicaid is an avenue for seizing your assets when you sicken and die.

​@@MegaSandyvaginahypothesis confirmed ❤

[@Exodus26.13Pi]

Is canned salmon healthy and mostly free of contamination? Great video, can't open the reviews. Thanks 👍

[@ConsumerlabPlus]

Yes - canned salmon is a better choice than canned tuna.

[@wizardatmath]

Would be good to substantiate a clear distinction made between farmed and wild salmon.

[@Mk-vi5jz]

Can can they go deep into mushroom supplements

[@ConsumerlabPlus]

Please see the response to Nickie about this last month.

[@Juice-jx1pr]

How about the bumblebee🐝

[@yousseflahbil679]

Taste tuna form Spain very tasty

[@me4g862]

i simply have loved starkist canned salmon (5 oz cans) until recently......i am really picky and pick out any darker "crap" and becasue the salmon was so awesome, rarly did i pick out much.......and also the texture of the salmon was perfect....but recently the texture is completely different (way more slimy and wet) and I am needing to remove way more salmon.......i eat like 4 cans a week but now may have to find another brand of slamon to eat....very disappointing

[@swesleyharris]

From Canada here. Clover leaf is the best here.

[@anaana-ze8rd]

Hi,what's your opinion on adaptogens? I'm taking Boswellia serrata 500mg(NOW foods),I love it ! However,I think this batch (best by 01/20) is (soooooo) less potent than the old one (05/19).

[@ConsumerlabPlus]

Boswellia is an anti-inflammatory, but products can differ greatly based on whether a resin or extract is used. See our separate Joint Supplement Review for details: www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Review_Glucosamine_Chondroitin_MSM_Boswellia_Supplements/jointsupplements/. Also, we just finished testing the latest Boswellia supplements, so look for the new results by the end of this month.

[@stormet54]

I've never heard of Boswellia before. Do you take it for joint pain? Does it work better than glucosamine or do you take that too?

[@anaana-ze8rd]

@@stormet54 yes,I'm coeliac,I have malabsorption as well.It took them forever to diagnose it(like 15yrs!). I 'm also taking vitamin D(without K-it gives me headache and cold hands &feet). I was taking Collagen,but it made my allergies worst(my IgE is over the roof),gave me a headache. Took hyaluronic acid,but my stomach is cramping like crazy when I take it. So,I ordered Boswellia 500mg. I could see difference within 3-4 days. I take it before bed. Tastes awfull at first,but now I'm actually hooked,and love it.It did give me stomach discomfort for first couple of days,but then it stopped. And,it calms your nervous system too. Eating raw onion(not garlic!) also helps me a lot (tried taking it as a supplement since it does stink :/,i ordered NOWs bromelain&quercetin,but hated it). Boswellia helps with joint pain,osteoarthritis(have it!),conective tissue,allergies,Crohn disease etc. Try it! But if your problem comes from spine,then try spine traction. Wet cupping (hijama)also helps a lot. Hope I helped :)

[@AuntNessie-u2e]

You know if you made videos exposing the companies you’d make money off of KZbin instead of making all of us pay for your website but whatever I’ll pay for the website when I have the extra money.

[@kingtut5923]

Watch out folks , clover leaf from Thailand .........caution

[@kamalanickiemciver9061]

There is no such thing as Sockeye Tuna. It is a Salmon!!!

[@ConsumerlabPlus]

Thank you, Nickie. This error occurs at at 2:21 into the video, where "skipjack tuna" is accidentally referred to as "sockeye tuna." A correction has been made in the captioning. Sockeye salmon is quite different and is correctly mentioned many times in the video. Thanks again for catching this.

[@sra5093]

What are you smoking? "Red Sockeye Salmon" was in report.

[@stevenacarlos9648]

Madness and death

[@rukundodaneila702]

This video is stressful

[@terranokes9585]

Ok

[@antonvanveen8824]

Sorry Charlie..... ;->

[@jpaulglobal]

BOOOOOO. Lame click bait. False title. No info actually given. I'd like a refund of 5:54 minutes of my time back.

[@MC-mh2ju]

Unless you are planning to live to be 90, eat whatever you want.

[@4orrcountry]

...Eat more of what you want AFTER you hit 80. I say this because quality of life for most 90-year-olds isn't very good.

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

Quality over quantity. All food is killing you either way. People just dont live that long nowadays

[@ozzymer]

U can eat tuna daily don't worry

[@JVONROCK]

Blah, blah, blah.
