3Farmed salmon
Unlike wild salmon, farmed salmon has been found to contain a higher percentage of Omega 6 fatty acids as compared to Omega 3. Too much Omega 6 actually raises blood pressure, bad cholesterol and water retention in the body.
Research indicates that PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), dioxins and chlorinated pesticides in farmed salmon can be 10 times higher than that in wild salmon. Also, synthetically-derived astaxanthin and canthaxanthin are added to farmed salmon fish fillets in order to give them an appealing pink hue.
Alternative: Switch out farmed salmon for wild caught salmon and other fish such as cod, mackerel, halibut and sardine. Healthy fats in your diet should be in your top anti-cancer foods checklist.
