>and hair mineral analysis.

Funny you should mention.

I received results of my hair mineral analysis today.  Of the 11 essential
minerals and 9 toxic elements tested, all fell within their reference ranges
except mercury and tin which were high.

mercury 3.79 (rr < = 1.69)
tin 0.3718 (rr < = 0.1825)

I eat canned tuna about 4 times a week which may account for the mercury.
Also eat, but less frequently, sardines and pink salmon.  But the tin?  Tuna
is the only canned food I regularly eat.  "Tin" cans aren't really made out
of tin anymore, or are they?  The tuna cans look like steel to me. Once in a
rare blue moon I might use a can of tomatoes in a recipe or a can of coconut
milk.  But that's the only canned food I eat.   Anybody have a clue where I
could be getting so much tin from?   Are there other sources of mercury that
could be in my diet?  Also, any ideas about how to purge/eliminate the
excesses?
