I would say that UNLESS the tuna is packed in unrefined extra virgin olive oil then the water packed stuff is by far the better. I buy the tins packed in spring water, I drain it off then pour in unrefined olive oil and sometime flaxseed oil. Any oil that is refined is not good for health becuase of the changes that get made to its structure during the heating and bleaching and deodourising that goes on during processing.
