less fattening than in water? ? ?

I believe brine is the liquid the tuna was boiled in... .

I could be wrong - its happened before... . lol

tuna in brine is tuna in salty water. Tuna in springwater is without the salt

"Tuna in brine" is tuna cut up on the factory ship that caught it - and then boiled in sea water in the tins.

"Tuna in water" is the same as above but they use fresh water from their tanks for that (=no added salt) LOL :)

Exactly the same in calories of course as water and salt have no caloric value.

and Tuna in oil is far nicer than either of them

give me the spring water any day!

Quite an illusion there LOL ...
Cause the oil used is either Canola or Soy - and both are pretty bad for your health.

I'm more of a fan of sardines in spring water.
