It's ok. This advice will change back next week. I'm waiting for the
day they announce the Munchy Box as the healthiest option available.

New Study Shows Farm-Raised Tilapia Have Little Omega 3
The American Heart Association tells us to eat fish twice a week in
order to help keep our hearts healthy. This is because of the high

Tilapia a Bad Fish for Heart Health

hould eat more, right? Wrong, a new study by researchers at the Wake
Forest University Baptist Medical Center (Chilton et al, 2008),
suggests that farm-raised tilapia may be worse for your heart than
eating bacon or a hamburger. Tilapia has gained popularity in recent
years as people try to pay attention to Omega 3 fatty acids by
eating fish regularly.
Because farm-raised tilapia is often one of the most affordable
varieties of fish available at the supermarket, tilapia has
increased in popularity as consumers try to merge healthy eating
habits with shrinking grocery budgets. Tilapia is easy to raise on
fish farms because they thrive under a variety of conditions.
Tilapia also do very well on inexpensive foods. This may be the root
of the problem. Often, farm-raised tilapia are fed corn-based foods
that are high in harmful Omega 6 fatty acids and arachidonic acid.
The tilapia stores these arachidonic and Omega 6 fatty acids in its
tissues for you to eat when you buy them in a store.
Negative Health Effects of Eating Farm-Raised Tilapia
The study's senior author, Dr. Floyd Chilton, professor of
physiology and pharmacology and director of the Wake Forest Center
for Botanical Lipids, says, "A New England Journal of Medicine
article three years ago said if you had heart disease and had a
certain genetic makeup, and you ate arachidonic acid, the diameter
of your coronary artery was smaller, a major risk factor for a heart
attack." He also cited numerous animal studies showing that dietary
arachidonic acid is directly linked to adverse health reactions.
