      I think that if you have too much of anything it can be bad for you!

      Big fish like tuna contain a lot of mercury. If we eat things that contain a lot of mercury very frequently it can lead to mercury poisoning which can be dangerous. Eating canned tuna in a balanced way is fine, it can even be good for you as fish has a lot of vitamins and healthy oils!
