Eating fish has always been seen as good for your health.
But when it comes to farmed salmon, scientists warn that the truth couldn't be further from the truth.
Indeed, during the making of the documentary "Fillet Oh Fish" on the intensive farming of fish in Norway, the director Nicolas Daniels discovered horrible things...
In particular that the salmon farms were based on a mountain of waste of 15 meters high, made up of bacteria, residues of antibiotics and pesticides...
Just that!
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, fish farms today are facing serious problems...
In particular because of the pollution of the sea which leads to genetic mutations in fish.
Farmed salmon has been shown to be 5 times more toxic than any other food tested.
Norwegian environmental activist Kurt Oddekalv even goes so far as to say that farmed salmon is one of the most toxic foods in the world.
He also adds that salmon farming is simply "a disaster both for the environment and for our health".
"I strongly recommend that pregnant women and children not eat farmed salmon because of the toxic products it contains," says Dr. Anne-Lise Birch Monsen, a biologist from the University of Bergen in Norway.
She adds that the toxic products found in farmed salmon have devastating effects on brain development.
And they are responsible for dysfunctions of the immune system.
And that's not all!
Eating farmed salmon more than once per month increases risk of developing cancer because of the toxic products and the level of dioxins it contains.
As you will have understood, today, and more than ever, it is essential not only to choose the right food, but also to know where it comes from and what it contains.
All of our health depends on it.
Given the toxicity of farmed salmon , it is important not to make a mistake or be fooled when buying salmon.
If you want to eat quality salmon, it is better to bet on wild salmon.
