Tilapia is everyone’s favorite. It’s cheap, doesn’t have that fishy taste, it’s boneless, skinless, and you can easily cook it. But could there be a dark side to tilapia? Apparently, Yes! Tilapia has been found to be even more disastrous for your health than some of the more notorious meats like beef and pork. The tilapia we’re consuming is pretty much totally a cultivated fish, which means you can’t discover wild tilapia in any supermarket or on any restaurant menu. Wild tilapia eat a delicious diet of algae and various plants, but most of the tilapia in the store doesn’t come from the wild – they come from factory farms, where tilapia are fed an unnatural, unhealthy diet of GMO corn and soy pellets. Why can’t you eat farmed-raised Tilapia? Farm-raised tilapia has been shown to cause aggravation in the body like asthma, joint inflammation, coronary disease, and a host of other problems. Additionally, farmed fish contain ten times the normal amount of carcinogenic, or cancer causing agents as fish found in the wild. It’s no different for tilapia. These kind of fish also have a higher amounts of pesticides in them, as pesticides are used to treat the fish for infections while being farmed and often remains contained in their bodies after harvesting. Another concern, is the high level of Dioxin in farmed fish. Dioxin is a lethal substance that, once in your system, can take up to a decade to leave your body. Dioxin levels are 11 times higher in farmed fish than in wild fish. Furthermore, farm-raised tilapia packs less solid supplements than the wild ones. They contain less protein and frequently contain more omega 6 unsaturated fats than Omega 3. Thus, if omega 3 to omega 6 proportions are unbalanced, it gives adverse effects to our bodies.
