Why are these species of fish dangerous to your blood sugar, and your overall health?

1) Large carnivorous fish with long lifespans, including marlin, can have a buildup MERCURY. While this naturallyoccurring heavy metal is found in safe, small amounts in most sea creatures, longerliving and bigger aquatic carnivores which eat these smaller fish can accumulate high levels of mercury, and inside their bodies, it can become METHYLMERCURY – the organic form of mercury, which is harmful to humans. Studies have further found that high methylmercury exposure can worsen diabetesrelated complications.

2) While omega3 fats in oily fish, like salmon, can aid your heart health, omega6 fats are associated with asthma, arthritis, inflammation, high blood pressure, a heightened risk of heart disease, and decreased insulin sensitivity. Tilapia has just about the lowest concentration of omega3 fats, but some of the highest levels of omega6 fats among popular seafood.

3) Barracuda can be toxic due to the risk of CIGUATERA POISONING. CIGUATOXINS are produced by certain species of algae, and they can accumulate in the flesh of larger reef fish, particularly barracuda. Symptoms of ciguatera poisoning including nausea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal problems, plus nerve issues like sensations of tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness. In some severe cases, consuming this poison can lead to cardiovascular damage and dangerous fluctuations in glucose levels.

4) Farmed fish, while a significant source of seafood production worldwide, can give you some general benefits, but also plenty of health risks. Some salmon farms have been reported to feed their fish harmful additives, synthetic pigments, and other potentially toxic substances in order to mimic the natural pink color of wild salmon flesh. Plus, farmed salmon usually has over double the amount of arteryclogging SATURATED FAT.

5) Shark meat is high in saturated fat, which may lead to an increase in arteryclogging LDL cholesterol, weight gain, and insulin resistance. Plus, sharks have been found to contain extremely high levels of certain toxins, especially MERCURY, which can wreck havoc on your blood sugar control. Shark meat may also contain high concentrations of other hazardous chemicals, including arsenic, lead, and DDTs.
