Fish Meat
What is the cancer risk among those who use fish? Because of industrial pollution, most species of fish now have cancers. The water in which those fish swim contains 900 chemicals. No wonder that when sediment from these lakes is painted on bullhead fish and on rats, they develop cancer.
There is another risk in eating fish. Physicians warn diabetics not to consume fish oils, because they inhibit insulin production. Some recent studies suggest that even non-diabetics are affected in a similar manner.
cooked fish
In the Netherlands, researchers discovered that those who ate an ounce of fish a day had half the heart attack rate of those who didn't eat fish. Some suggested this was because the fatty acid EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) kept the blood from clotting. Later, however, studies in Canada and Norway revealed that fish eaters and non-fish eaters have no difference in heart attack rate. Even the original Netherlands study showed that fish contains very little EPA. It was then suggested the selenium in the fish may have done some good.
Red Meat
Most people know that red meats like beef, pork, and lamb are not the best for us. But what about white meat like fish and chicken that health authorities are recommending?
When researchers discovered that saturated fats had a great effect in elevating one's blood cholesterol than did dietary cholesterol, leading scientists did recommend leaving off the red meats and using fish and chicken. Fish and chicken contain a lot less fat and also much less saturated fat and also much less saturated fat than do the red meats.
