Fish
February 22, 2004
Here is my latest opinion on fish....
eating most fresh fish, whether from the ocean, lakes and
streams, or farm-raised, is no longer recommended. Mercury
levels in almost all fish have now hit dangerously high
levels across the world, and the risk of this mercury to
your health now outweighs the fish's omega-3 benefits.
However, because fish would otherwise be immensely healthy,
I have been searching for a safe source of fish -- and
finally discovered one! The Vital Choice Alaskan wild red
salmon offered on this site is the one source of salmon or
any fish that, via independent lab-testing, I have
discovered is safe from mercury and other toxins. In
addition to being mercury-free, the Vital Choice Alaskan
salmon is loaded with omega-3 with EPA and DHA , is high in
antioxidants to help you live longer, and tastes absolutely
delicious.
Fish oil contains high levels of the best omega-3 fats -
those with the EPA and DHA fatty acids - and, as it is in
pure form, does not pose the mercury risk of fresh fish.
The Carlson brand of fish oil and cod liver oil, regularly
tested by an independent FDA registered laboratory, is the
most highly recommended for its potency and purity. I now
suggest the Carlson brand of fish oil. You may be able to
find this exceptional quality brand in your local health
food store.
Whether you obtain it through mercury-free salmon,
high-quality fish oil, or other means, increasing your
daily intake of omega-3 is one of the most important steps
you can take now to improve your health, optimize your
weight, and live longer.
I believe that if you KNOW what the fish at fish farms are
fed they are basically safer than fresh water. Also, even
tho the fish oil is good for most, it's not the best for
heppers as it can store in the liver so fish consumption
should be limited.
