Recent Studies have found that farm-raised Tilapia may cause more inflammation.

Farm-raised tilapia has always been a popular source for fish, not only because it is widely available in the US, but it is also very inexpensive.
However, before you stock up on Tilapia, you may want to know about its correlation to inflammation.
Recent studies have concluded that eating Tilapia may worsen inflammation that can lead to heart disease, arthritis, asthma and a world of other serious health problems. People who resort to eating more fish as a way to get their dose of omega-3-fatty-acids and lessen their risk of heart attacks may want to hold off on the tilapia.
In fact, scientists have found that the inflammatory potential of tilapia is far greater than that of a feed-lot hamburger or bacon!

Farmed fish may have at least 10 times the amount of cancer causing organic pollutants compared to the wild variety.

Chicken waste in fish feed?

This can most likely be attributed to the feeds that are used on farm raised fish.
If you knew what went into the feeds of farm raised fish you would be horrified.
Apparently, chicken feces is one of the main ingredients that go into farm fish feed. Not only that, the transfer of pig and duck waste to fish farms is also a very common practice.


Farm-bred fish have been found to have high concentrations of antibiotics and pesticides.

Where do farm-bred fish get their antibiotics? The crowded conditions of fish farms cause the fish to be more susceptible to disease.
To keep them alive, farm owners give antibiotics to the fish to stave off disease.
Farm-bred fish are also treated with pesticides to combat sea lice. The pesticides used to treat these fish are so deadly that they have been caused to kill wild salmon that are accidentally exposed to them.
These pesticides are also eventually released in the ocean where they get into the bodies and systems of other marine life

5. Poor Omega-3 to Omega-6 Ratios

Farm-bred fish also have lower levels of healthy nutrients.
Many of us consume fish, hoping to reap the omega-3 fatty acid benefits that come with it. However, did you know that the omega-3-acids that are found in farm-raised fish are less usable to our bodies compared to wild bred fish?
Farm-raised fish also has a lower protein content.
Not only that, because farm-raised fish are kept in cages, they have the tendency to be fattier, and can have a higher concentration of omega-6 acids. The problem with getting too much omega-6 acids is that they may cause inflammation to the body due to imbalance

6. High Dioxin Levels

Dioxin levels are 11 times higher in farm-bred fish compared to wild fish.
A warning sign stands in a field contaminated with dioxin near Danang airport, during a ceremony marking the start of a project to clean up dioxin left over from the Vietnam War, at a former U.S. military base in Danang, Vietnam Thursday Aug. 9, 2012. The sign reads; "Dioxin contamination zone - livestock, poultry and fishery operations not permitted". The U.S. and Vietnam on Thursday launched a four-year joint effort to clean up dioxin leftover from Agent Orange that was mixed, stored and loaded onto planes at the former U.S. military base, which is now part of Danang’s airport. Dioxin can linger in soils and at the bottom of lakes and rivers for generations, entering the food supply through the fat of fish and other animals. (AP Photo/Maika Elan)
Dioxin is actually a very toxic chemical that can contribute to cancer and other complications. The problem with dioxin is that once it enters our system, it can take a very long time until it is let out.
The half life of dioxin is about 7 to 11 years.
