Fish raised on farms are more harmful than a hamburger and pork!

Fish raised in aquaculture are for single goal: sales. We all know that fish is excellent for the health because are rich in vitamins, minerals, protein, omega acids etc., all ingredients that are essential to the body in a healthy diet.

Mostly, all of that is true, but it all depends on the origin of the fish, from its environment, if caught in the open ocean or sea, and its nutrition in aquaculture and conditions where it is grown.

One of the most famous fish in America is tilapia which is most consumed recent years. Tilapia is kind of tropical fish, African indigenous fish, and after World War II its production spread to other parts of the world.

What is characteristic of this fish is strong parental care. Parents kept roe in its mouth for several days, so you can imagine that all processes are skipped in artificial breeding.

It turned out that the fish breed in the farm has more disadvantages than advantages and their consumption can cause more harm than benefit. The same is with salmon, cod, catfish and other fish.

What is the danger?

When there is an imbalance between the levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may occur various inflammations, cardiac diseases, asthma and other chronic diseases.

Tilapia grown on the farm has a high inflammatory potential, because it contains much less omega-3 apart from other fish. Studies made by the Wake Forest University confirmed this and even revealed that this fish has a higher inflammatory potential than hamburger and pork.

Fish raised on farms containing a high concentration of antibiotics and pesticides. You wonder why?

You may be surprised, but these fish are given antibiotics and pesticides against some sea lice to be able to survive in the narrow troughs and channels.

It is known that fish farms in China are the worst. There are not used antibiotics and pesticides, but the fish are fed very bad food. According to economic research concerned about the alarming situation, because there are rumors that the fish feed on chicken and pig manure. These rumors are not yet confirmed. However, every rumor has some truth, so you should be careful when choosing food.

Dibutyltin substance is known to weaken the immune system, and dioxins can cause cancer. These two chemicals can be found in fish bred in the farm.

The researchers confirmed that the level of dioxin is 11 times higher in these fish, as opposed to wild fish.

What is best to do?

Unfortunately, the marking of packages is not always true and some foods are exempt from the obligation to mark their origin. Also, there is no way to know whether the fish is GMO or organic.

Therefore, carefully and thoroughly check the label. Do not buy food that has not enough visible labels with poor data.

It is best to eat wild fish, but the law is very strict when it comes to preserving the environment, so these fish are usually very expensive.

It is thought that fish tilapia is best to buy the farms of the United States, Canada and Ecuador.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, best wild fish are: whiting, tailor, moonfish, mahi mahi and luderick (black fish). Australians also rewarded with a green label the Australian bonito, mullet and sea grasses, which are an excellent source of omega 3.
