Bad Food Culprit: Tilapia Fish

With the explosion of research proclaiming that omega-3 fatty acids are healthy for your heart, people are consuming more fish than ever. But one popular entrée on many menus may actually do more harm than good. Researchers from Wake Forest University recently revealed the results of a major study that found farm-raised tilapia has more unhealthy fatty acids (omega-6) than certain hamburgers, doughnuts, and pork bacon. Tilapia, flounder, and swordfish have only modest amounts of the healthy, omega-3 fatty acids. Better choices for heart health are salmon or trout. Unfortunately, tilapia is the food that’s increased most in popularity in recent years. Hopefully, this new information will steer consumers to clearer waters!
