The Dangers Of Eating Farmed Fish

Danger 1

One of the biggest risks you take when you take a bite of farm-raised fish for dinner is that you’re taking a big bite of dioxin.

The World Health Organization says that dioxins are found throughout the world in the environment and they accumulate in the food chain, mainly in the fatty tissue of animals.

Scientists have found that dioxin levels in farmed fish are 11 times higher than those of wild caught fish.

Once dioxin is consumed it can stay in your body from 7 – 10 years and is linked to immune system problems and organ damage in humans.

Danger 2

A Scientific study reported finding that mice given farm raised salmon to eat had developed metabolic syndrome as well as the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

According to the researchers, the reasons for metabolic syndrome and blood sugar problems is because farmed fish are contaminated with persistent organic pollutants or POPs which have shown to cause insulin resistance and obesity.
