Fish contain many essential nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Many people think eating fish is very healthy. But, would you ever drink a glass of ocean water? Probably not since it is polluted and unsanitary. Eating fish is the same as drinking ocean water and worse. Fish are so dirty and contaminated that they are the most polluted food that we eat!
The reason is because fish filter dirty ocean water in and out of their gills and bodies countless times throughout their lives. The contaminants in the ocean water are trapped in the fish and build up over time. The longer the fish lives, the more contaminated it becomes. Fish that are grown in farms are even dirtier! Unfortunately, nearly all fish and shellfish contain at least some mercury. Mercury is poisonous to the brain. Other chemicals that accumulate in fish include PCB’s, chemicals that can cause cancer. These fish pollutants can stay in your body for decades creating higher risk of diseases such as cancer and heart attacks. So, do you still want to eat fish?
