If you’re buying salmon at the store or ordering it at a restaurant, make sure it is wild and not farmed raised. Farmed raised salmon are fed a concentrated, high fat mixture of ground up fish and fish oil, otherwise known as “salmon chow.” Chemical contaminants are stored in a fish’s fat, so the concentrated “salmon chow” is loaded with a dangerous cocktail of mercury, antibiotics, flame-retardants, pesticides, and other cancer-causing carcinogens. Farm raised salmon also contain 30 times the number of sea lice as wild salmon, which is an unappetizing fact. More than 60 percent of the salmon consumed in the U.S. is farm raised.
