Think Twice When Eating Tilapia

Do you have any information on the health benefits/non-benefits of the fish called tilapia? I've seen conflicting reports. Dr. Gourmet Says...

There are no recipes for tilapia on the Dr. Gourmet website. Part of this is because I am not all that fond of the flavor and texture of this fish. I find tilapia pretty bland and dry.

The other reason is because the research that we have about the health effects of eating fish has been done mostly with fatty fish such as tuna, halibut and salmon. Leaner fish like tilapia and catfish have much less Omega 3. But... is that a problem?

It appears that it might be. In a study published last summer in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association researchers found that there is not very much Omega-3 fat in tilapia (we knew that). The issue is that there are high levels of Omega-6 fats and this might actually be dangerous. There is controversy about the importance of the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fats in foods. Some feel that having a high ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 can actually create an inflammatory state that could worsen issues such as heart disease. There is enough evidence to be concerned, however. (The authors of the study also note that farm raised catfish have similar ratios.)

So it might be best to not make tilapia the center of your diet.

One key that I do try and get across is that too much of any food is a problem. There's a balance in eating a wide variety of seafood including salmon, halibut, drum, tilapia, tuna, shrimp, mussels, cod, flounder and on and on. That's the best way to make sure that you are not only eating healthy but also enjoying what you eat to the fullest.

Bitaw na abusar na ang tilapia through fish culture, there´s nothing like a real natural fish.

mdb, you should go and visit lake sebu town in south cotabato the next time you come around for a PI visit. lake sebu is probably the tilapia capital hereabouts. there, you will find all kinds of tilapia recipes: fried tilapia, kinilaw tilapia, paksiw tilapia, inihaw, tilapia, and even chicharon tilapia, believe it or not.

I posted it here because it is well discussed in the Butuan Forum. They have a member who is a scientist. I want to share this to you so you are well informed.
Alay Ondoy, if eating tilapia make you horny, then keep on eating. ;D

ps
We got lots of genetically modified foods like soya, corn, rice, flax seeds. This is now locally consumed since there is less restrictions in our country.
There are farms in the USA that uses genetically modified grass eaten by cows. The meat are sold to big fast foods like Mcdo, Burger King and the like. You should not wonder why there are many obese Americans and Europeans. Asian countries who has changed eating ways like China and Japan are getting fatter too.

It is saddening that tilapia or Saint Peters' fish ( hopefully the domesticated version )  is not really healthful but much better than meat patties. Perhaps the tilapia caught at the Sea Of Galilee which is called Saint Peters' fish is the healthier version. Personally speaking this shortens my list of allowable supermarket supplied meats. Cooking it in either virgin coconut oil or virgin olive oil will help but just the same the meat is still not that beneficial to the health.

  My concern is that the current milk fish might end up the same as the tilapia. Maybe it has something to do with the food it is being fed.

Researchers from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, however, reported that their study on farm-raised tilapia revealed that the fish contained a very low amount of Omega-3 fatty acids (the good fat) and a very high content of Omega-6 fatty acids (the bad fats).

If this is true, then consuming tilapia, even 2-3 times a week might be hazardous to health, especially to patients with any of these conditions: arthritis, coronary artery disease, asthma, allergies, auto-immune diseases, because the bad fats can cause an exaggerated inflammatory response and cause endothelial damage to the arteries of vital organs of the body, like the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, skin, etc.

The contents of tilapia were scientifically analyzed and compared to bacon, showing the following data:

tilapia, 26 grams of protein; bacon, 0.07 gram;
and, tilapia’s fat, 3 grams; bacon, 100.76 grams.

Tilapia is a source of niacin, potassium, selenium, Vit B-12 and phosphorus, and found to have very low level of mercury contamination;

bacon is loaded with 1,000 mg of sodium (salt), 166 mg of cholesterol, and a preservative called nitrite, which is suspected to be a cancer-inducing chemical.
