I started graying in my mid twenties, I am in my late thirties now and my hair is a little over half gray at this point. I would frankly like to do something about it, my wife has been insistent that I don't because she likes it.

The possibility of it being some sort of vitamin deficiency that this raises has me feeling like I should at least get my levels tested. I can't imagine that it is a B12 deficiency however due to how much canned fish I consume. It's become my go to easy lunch since the beginning of COVID.

Full grey here. The amount of comments and compliments I get about my hair is unreal. I never really got any before greying.

I say embrace it.

Be careful with the canned fish, especially canned sardines, as they risk arsenic. Canned tuna and some others can risk mercury. I wouldn't eat canned fish more than once or twice a week. Always make sure to cook them well, otherwise worms are risked. The ocean is used by us as one big garbage dump.

You shouldn't need to cook canned fish, they are cooked after canning at the factory, which is why they are shelf stable for years.

You shouldn't have to, but you would be taking a massive risk, and risk becoming a medical statistic when worms grow and multiply, also entering various organs.

In me, canned tuna caused major problems that required antibiotics to resolve after conducting thousands of dollars of tests. The tuna evidently had certain highly inflammatory bacteria. I consider myself lucky that the antibiotic worked at all.
