Is is safe to eat salmon?: "A new report from U.S. researchers concludes that, for most people, the potential cancer risks of eating salmon containing toxic chemicals outweigh the benefits gained from also consuming the fish's heart-friendly omega-3 fatty acids.
They calculate no more than six meals a year of farmed Atlantic salmon should be considered safe. "
I eat salmon once a week; I poach it with dill sauce, grill it with teriyaki, barbecue it on a cedar plank, put it in salads or sandwiches, etc. Turns out I might as well be eating it with a little acrylamide or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons sprinkled on top. Apparently the chum they feed farmed Atlantic salmon comes from polluted waters, is contaminated and the carcinogens are passed up the food chain to us. Everything we eat seems to be irradiated, pumped full of hormones, antibiotics or pesticides. It's enough to make one anorexic.
