I've heard you should eat no more than 1-2 cans per day. Is there a specific chemical in canned tuna that is bad for you?

its real safe, and healthy for him, especially if he gets the tuna that is packed in water rather than oil..

canned tuna has been tested for and show to have high levels of mercury. There is an advisory for children and pregnant women concerning the consumption of canned tuna. I'd cut it down to 3 cans a week. Check with a nutritionist or doctor.

Bananas give you 17% of your Daily Value of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals (harmful waste products) in your body and helps produce collagen, the building block of the connective tissues such as tendons and cartilage that keep your knees strong. And the banana's magnesium plays a role in energy transport and is involved in the synthesis of protein, which helps you recover from fatigue. Getting plenty of fiber in your diet is important for good health. Fiber has important benefits including reducing cholesterol, improving blood sugar control, and lowering risk of heart disease. It has a positive effect on the digestive system by helping to maintain regularity and reduce risk of diverticulitis and hernias. Bananas, like most fiber, tend to help both diarrhea and constipation. Some people cannot take fiber supplements every day for more than a few weeks, but anyone can eat several bananas a day for many years with no problem. Two bananas a day (or one with every large meal) offers optimal GI effect (a slippery, soft stool with no mess). What you spend on bananas you will save on toilet paper.

u said he only has 1 a day so that's not so bad. But canned tuna does have some unhealthy stuff in it, but overall is very healthy.

Of course it's safe......fish is actually one of the better chooses of meat/poultry (if you will) . If you are looking at losing weight, fish is a faster way to lose it also. I wouldn't be worried at all.
