Don't hold back, Elisabeth Moss! During "Plead the Fifth" on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live Thursday, May 23, the Mad Men actress sounded off on her 2008 Speed-the-Plow costar Jeremy Piven. "What, besides eating too much sushi, caused Jeremy Piven to quit Speed-the-Plow?"

Cohen asked the actress. (Piven, 47, famously left the Broadway production early, claiming he had mercury poisoning.) "That's a very good one. I could go on and on," Moss, 30, said, with a big smile on her face. "Being highly unprofessional," she gave as her answer. "We were all surprised," Moss added of Piven's exit. "It came out of nowhere. He just didn't come back one day." But she did run into him not long after he left. "I saw him like a month later at the Golden Globes," she shared. "When he was supposed to be really sick." Cohen also asked Moss about the rumors that her Mad Men costar, Jon Hamm, has "impressive anatomy." "Is it true what they say about Jon Hamm's ham?" he asked. "Well, I mean, we've all seen the pictures so, I mean, I would suppose so," Moss said with a smirk. "That's all I know."Do you still eat tuna because you think it’s good for you? In fact, the latest scientific research shows that eating tuna is hazardous to your health. Here are the top 10 reasons to let tuna off the hook.1.

Tuna fish accumulate toxic mercury in their flesh as a result of industrial pollution, and the side effects of mercury poisoning include finger curling, cognitive impairment, and coordination problems. A California boy, who was the subject of a front-page Wall Street Journal article, went from being a star athlete and honor student to being unable to concentrate or catch a football because he ate canned tuna.

Even “small” tuna species, such as yellowfin and albacore, can grow to be 6.5 feet long and weigh hundreds of pounds. Tuna aren’t exactly couch potatoes—they can swim more than 100 miles in a day—with a top speed of 40 miles per hour.3.

According to a recent study published in the American Heart Association’s journal, men with the highest levels of mercury increased their risk for heart disease by 60 percent and their risk of dying of a heart attack by 70 percent. Do your heart a favor—put down the fish fork and pick up a safer source of omega-3s, such as walnuts and flaxseeds.4. Would You Eat Your Dog? How about a fish who’s as smart as a dog? Dr. Theresa Burt de Perera, an Oxford University scientist, recently published research showing that fish learn faster than dogs. And University of Edinburgh biologist Culum Brown says, “In many areas, such as memory, their cognitive powers match or exceed those of ‘higher’ vertebrates, including non-human primates.”5. Sorry, Charlie Unlike a certain cartoon tuna, fish aren’t begging to be caught. Tuna are chased until they move into a tight group, and then a net is lowered around them. They are dragged against rocks and debris, and some fish suffocate from the sheer weight of other fish pressing against them.

Large tuna are impaled on longlines—which are miles of barbed hooks that are left in the ocean for days at a time.6. Death, Sopranos-Style Think “swimming with the fishes” in reverse. “Hit men” dump smaller tuna onto ice, where they slowly freeze to death or are crushed when thousands of their schoolmates are piled on top of them. Tuna caught on longlines are beaten until they become unconscious before they are thrown into the freezer—and that’s if they haven’t already bled to death while struggling to free themselves!7. Factory Fish Bowls Because fishing trawlers are increasingly emptying the seas of more and more of their inhabitants, fish are now being raised on “farms.” Small tuna are captured and dumped into netted pens. They are fattened on pellets of concentrated fish flesh and killed when they get big enough—if they don’t die first from the parasites and diseases that thrive in extremely crowded conditions.8. Sickening Sashimi Stay away from the sushi buffet if you don’t want to spend the next day at the porcelain palace.

Seafood is the number one cause of food poisoning in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 75 million cases of foodborne illness every year, including hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths.9. Dolphin-Unsafe Tuna Tuna is about as “dolphin-friendly” as a boat propeller. Even if dolphins aren’t “accidentally” trapped in tuna nets, they are still killed intentionally by Japanese tuna anglers because they prey on tuna. Entire pods of whales and dolphins are rounded up and driven into shallow water where all but the youngest (who are captured and sold to aquariums) are slaughtered with knives and machetes.10. Tuna-Safe Tuna Vegetarian tuna, available from Veggie World is a double-take fake tuna that is perfect for sandwiches, casseroles, and “fish” cakes. It is packed with protein and has an uncanny “tuna” flavor and texture, but it’s free of mercury, harmful bacteria, and suffering. If you’re “fishing” for a heart-smart diet that has been proved to actually reverse heart disease while also reducing the risk of cancer, diabetes, and obesity and that is good for the environment as well as fish-friendly—a vegetarian diet is the perfect catch.
