Hello!
There should be nothing unhealthy about regularly eating salmon. It is a heart healthy food.
However, you shouldn’t eat any particular food every day. It can cause an allergy to that food. In fact, doctors specializing in food allergies report that many people are allergic to their favourite foods for this very reason.
An important point regarding the eating of salmon is to strictly avoid the farm-raised variety as it could very well be detrimental to your health.
According to laboratory tests commissioned by Environmental Working Group, farmed salmon is the most PCB-contaminated source of protein in the U.S. food supply. These fish are also known to have harmful levels of mercury, DDT, and dioxin.
And that’s not all. Farmed salmon are fed corn and soy meal (not exactly the natural diet of a salmon). Because of this unnatural diet, these fish have far more unhealthy omega-6 fatty acids and fewer healthy omega-3s than wild salmon. And it has been shown that farmed salmon consume more antibiotics by weight than any other livestock.
So, instead of farm-raised salmon, be sure to insist on wild Alaskan salmon. These fish live in some of the most pristine waters on earth. They have extremely low levels (usually not a trace) of mercury and PCBs. And they are rich in heart-healthy and brain-boosting omega-3s. You can find canned wild Alaskan salmon in most grocery stores, and most health food markets will have fresh fillets.
