🔎 We will explore 7 types of fish to avoid and highlight some of the best fish options, as well as provide key tips for buying fish.

7. Tilapia:
Tilapia is a popular fish in the US, but its high omega-6 and low omega-3 ratio can cause inflammation and increase the risk of heart disease.

Additionally, imported tilapia may not meet safety standards and may contain harmful chemicals and high levels of antibiotics, which can contribute to the growth of antibiotic resistance.

6. King Mackerel: King Mackerel should be avoided due to its high levels of mercury, which can cause neurological damage, kidney problems, and developmental delays in children. King Mackerel is a predatory fish and accumulates more toxins over time, such as PCBs, than other fish in the food chain.

5. Orange Roughy:
Orange Roughy can live up to 150 years and are often over 30 years old, which can lead to higher levels of contaminants, such as mercury, and other toxins in their bodies.

This fish also tends to accumulate toxins in its fatty tissue, which can cause inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, depression, and contribute to heart disease.

4, 3, 2. Swordfish, Shark, Tilefish:
These fish are all known to contain high levels of mercury due to their long lifespan and predatory nature. Mercury in fish is linked to cardiovascular disease, immune system dysfunction, and endocrine disruption.

1. Eel:
Eating eel can be dangerous as they tend to absorb toxins such as clothing dyes, cadmium, flame retardants, and plasticizers from their environment. Moreover, overfishing and habitat destruction are endangering eel populations, making their consumption unsustainable.

💡 Tips:
✔️ Healthy fish options include salmon, tuna, sardines, anchovies, cod, and trout, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients, and low in contaminants like mercury.

✔️ Opt for wild-caught fish when possible, which tends to be higher in omega-3 and lower in omega-6, and contains fewer contaminants, pesticides, and antibiotics.

✔️ When buying fish, look for young fish with firm flesh and a deep red-orange color for salmon, or a translucent white color for white fish fillets.

My relatives eats fish in your video but they live until on their 80' s 90's & my grand parents live until 100's . I'm already 67 but healthy eating those fish. Even in Japan fish and vegetables they live the most 100's in this planet.

I ate eels as a youth and now have severe heart desease, so I can't refute that. Most of all folks, avoid the cigarette fish, it's a killer. Thanks for the video.

Tests by Consumer Labs in the US confirm tinned tuna has worrying levels of mercury. They recommend you eat it only once a week, if at all.

Regarding of Tilapia. If you give them high omega 3 source food like algae, some of veggies and water plant. This fish will have higher ratio of omega 3 and 6.

Many years i dont eat tilapia. Thank you for the info👍😊

My parents have been eating these kind of fish, like tilapia since birth yet they have reach more than 80. We usually over eat tilapia because we are in fishpond business but we are still generally healthy in our 60s.

Moderation is key. Eat to live, don't live to eat. 👌

Tilapia were orignally found in Africa and growing up in Tanzania in the 1960s were available fresh from Lake Rukwa. We dd not get them frequently but possibly living in their natural habitat, they were more nutritious and suited to the dietary needs of the surrounding inhabitants. Just an observation. Many intensively farmed products are not always as nutritious as when grown more naturally and production to satisfy commercial consumer standards entails using pesticdes, growth hormones etc.

Most Farm bred Salmon have a Bright Red Orange colored flesh. That's because of the feed they're are given has artificial colorant to make their color seemed nicer. It's the same with Aquarium food. They add colorant to make the fish more brighter.

A couple of months ago I was cleaning out a pantry and ended up using some old canned sardines. It sent me down a sardine rabbit hole that has been an eye opener and a complete surprise. Maybe I was an apex predator fish in a previous life but I'm now obsessed with the taste of these smaller bait fish like sardines and anchovies, that are just packed with flavor. Talapia, rockfish and other whitefish are just kind of bland to me now, Sardines, anchovies and trout are also extremely cheap when compared to other proteins spiking inflation.

I was about to have my Tilapia dish. I've decided to eat at my own risk for today. At least I don't eat all the other fish listed here I think everything we eat is contaminated with chemicals anyway, our options are getting very limited.

Great... Tilapia and orange roughy. 2 of my favorites. Cant even find Orange roughy anymore...

[ojphones]

Tilapia is a staple food in my homeland… To be precise in the Lake Victoria region in Kenya. Never heard of any alarming health issues resulting from consumption of Tilapia in that region. And it is the most common fish being consumed in Kenya at large.

Good video. About 3 years ago I caught my first fish and ate it. Let me tell you, it was 100 times better and fresher than any fish in any market. Now I only eat fish that I catch that same day. Mostly trout and salmon. 👍

[suzannebohan]

WOW! I love salmon, I'll stick with that. What about Mahi Mahi? So good they named it twice. I used to love Talapia, Orange Roughie, Sea Bass, and occasionally Swordfish. When I was pregnant I stayed away from Mercury fish tuna etc. Thank you for this game changing update. I know now, stick with Omega 3's. Salmon. ❤. I'll pass this along. ♥️✨🧜

[DamonSlater]

I only ever eat cod, haddock, salmon, and trout. Would have been good to get some info on haddock. And also in seafood, as I do eat king prawns too.

[cheriebrooks]

Thanks for making this informative video. We eat wild salmon (not farmed ones), sardines, anchovies, grouper. Both salmon and tuna are considered red meat, so we chose salmon over tuna.
