I usually don't open forwarded emails and read the whole thing let alone blog about it. But, an email with this title which was forwarded by Mama got my attention.
Who doesn't love bacon? Almost everyone I know does... And who doesn't know that eating fish, and it's omega-3 fatty acids, is good for our health?
Well, researchers have found out that there is a fish that is NOT...
Farm-raised tilapia, one of the most highly consumed fish in America, has very low levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and, perhaps worse, very high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, according to new research from Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
The email caught my attention because I like eating Tilapia...especially when it is pinaputok or crispy fried versions.

Papa Wins doesn't like it so much. He said he doesn't like the taste. Maybe he has a sixth sense about unhealthly food? He doesn't like bacon either.
Tilapia has higher levels of potentially detrimental long-chain omega-6 fatty acids than 80-percent-lean hamburger, doughnuts and even pork bacon, the article says.(...more...)
Knowing this, I wouldn't go out of my way to buy/order/cook Tilapia anymore. I would still like to eat Tilapia every now and then. But we should be having more Tuna - the canned and fresh versions - from now on.
Though the article came out around July 2008, I only learned about it today. I am curious to know if YOU are aware of this fact? After knowing this, would you change your eating habits?
