Does eating more seafood increase the risk of cancer?

The risks for eating a lot of seafood fluctuate. If you love seafood, eat a variety of types from a variety of sources and there should be no problem. There is more danger in eating just one kind of seafood only that can be more prone to contamination than others or eating seafood from a single source. For several years, I took a tuna sandwich to work for lunch every single day. I love tuna sandwiches. My choice of brands was limited because I only like the kind that comes unsalted. That was until blood tests showed elevated mercury levels, not dangerously high but it was recommended that I eat much less tuna.
