Tilapia:
Farm Raised
Tilapia is also fed methyltestosterone, which makes them grow bigger, but has been found to be toxic for our livers - In fact, methyltestosterone has been pulled off the market in Germany due to toxicity fears
Cancer Risk/Dioxin
Dioxins are found in tilapia and are a group of chemically-related compounds that are persistent environmental pollutants
Once dioxins enter the body, they last a long time because of their chemical stability and their ability to be absorbed by fat tissue, where they are then stored in the body - half-life in the body is estimated to be 7 to 11 years
It’s well-known for its ability to damage the immune system and interfere with hormonal systems and has been linked to birth defects, inability to maintain pregnancy and decreased fertility, among others
Omega 3’s
A serving of tilapia has 135 milligrams of omega 3’s, whereas a serving of salmon has over 2,000 milligrams of omega-3’s
Swordfish:
Swordfish is among the species of fish that is very high in mercury, an environmental contaminant that can cause brain damage
The mercury found in fish is methylmercury - mercury is released into the air and then settles onto the land and into the water
Bacteria and other microorganisms convert the mercury into methylmercury
Then, fish and shellfish in the water begin to absorb it - fish that eat other fish and who live longer have higher levels of methylmercury
Methylmercury is toxic to the central nervous system - the brain and spinal cord and can cause irreversible damage (brains of unborn babies and infants are especially susceptible)
How much damage is done depends on how much you are exposed to the chemical
The effects of methylmercury poisoning include cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, impaired mental functioning, impaired lung function, growth problems, and having a small head
Specifically, injuries caused by methylmercury (MeHg) in the central nervous system are related to its ability to increase reactive oxygen species
Mercury also has the ability to increase the permeability of chloride channels of GABA A receptors in the dorsal root ganglion, which is associated with neuronal hyperpolarization
Tuna:
A 100 g of raw yellowfin tuna has 108 calories, 0 carbs, 0.9 g fat and 23.4 g protein, while the bluefin variety is fattier and more flavourful – it contains 144 calories per 100 g, 0 carbs, 4.9 g fat, and 23.3 g protein
It’s rich in selenium, magnesium and potassium, but in terms of fat, it’s not the most favorable for keto
Additionally, tuna is one of the larger sea predators, and because of being high in the food chain, it contains higher levels of mercury than most other fish (yellowfin tuna has the most)
