Joe Rogan Blames Arsenic Poisoning on Eating Too Many Trendy Sardines

Joe Rogan said he got arsenic poisoning from eating 3 cans of sardines a night. He was consuming high levels of a fish prone to contamination.

Rogan told Elon Musk a doctor said the arsenic was causing symptoms like headaches. A case study found similar effects from overeating sardines.

Research shows sardines can have arsenic due to pollution. Rogan cut back on sardines after a test found arsenic in his blood.

Sardines are now trendy but a dietitian says they're a healthy affordable protein when eaten in moderation.

The FDA advises eating fish low in contaminants like salmon, shrimp, and tuna more often than riskier choices like sardines.
