I hate to disappoint you but tuna is really very far from being darn safe. It is well known to be often polluted by mercury and other heavy metals, as well by histamine. Some governments recommend the maximal monthly amounts to be consumed, and recommend pregnant women considerably lower limits or avoiding it altogether.
Not that I would like to discourage you from eating tuna, but relying on it as the main source of proteins is not wiser than eating other types of meat or fish.
Well, that told, today there is practically nothing that is not polluted. I think the only way to cope with it, is having a rich choice of food - eating everything, not limiting you just to certain type of food. Once you start removing certain types of food from your menu, you will not only get less needed stuff into your body, but you start cumulating the same type of toxins. Oppositely, when you keep on eating rich, being rather selective on the quality than the type of food, the body will take what it needs from it, and the toxins and other pollutants will not hit you as bad as if you eat the same type of food all the time.
PS: I also know people who avoid canned tuna, because it often contains a considerable percentage of dolphin meat from the by-catch.
