Farm-Raised Tilapia Raises Questions

A study published in the July 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found farm-raised tilapia has less than half a gram of omega-3s per 100 grams of fish and has high levels of omega-6 due to its corn-fed diet on the farm.

Research has shown the Western diet has an omega-6/omega-3 ratio between 15-1 to 16.7-1 and high amounts of omega-6 can lead to inflammatory and autoimmune disease.

Turns out not all fish were created equal.
