Study Cites Risks of Eating Farmed Salmon
The cancer risks of eating some kinds of salmon may outweigh the benefits to the heart.
Wild salmon is better than farmed salmon. Among farmed salmon, those from South America have the least contaminants, followed by farmed salmon from North America; salmon farmed in Europe showed high toxin levels and should not be eaten.
People are advised to eat fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids (like salmon) twice a week to improve heart health. But for some people, especially young people who have a long time to accumulate toxins in their body, the risks of eating farmed salmon may not be worth the benefits.
