Making Farmed Fish a Healthier Dish

November 17th, 2008 by Sean Webb

The media have been really positive about the benefits of fish oils/ fish in our diet for the past few years. As we learn more about how diet & exercise affect our health and lifestyle we make changes for the better, based on what we read, watch and hear.

 

New evidence has been coming to light though about ratios of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids.

Some farmed fish have been found to have higher levels of harmful fatty acids. This is be a concern that must be dealt with by the aquaculture industry as it won’t be long before this issue becomes more mainstream news/ health advice.
