THE FLIP SIDE OF TILAPIA


Dr. Mehmet Oz
The truth about tilapia ... is it as good for you as it seems?



hello, all you Tilapia eaters! check out this website Dr. Oz has twitted about, and decide for yourself. I dont know about you, but i would still eat Tilapia, i've been eating them eversince i learned to chew! :-)Tilapia is also being farm raised in our country, so this is not a shocking news to me.

SO IF EVER YOU DECIDE TO STILL EAT TILAPIA,  HERE IS THE GUIDELINE ACCORDING TO THEM.

"For the moment, Seafood Watch lists tilapia raised in the United States as a “best choice,” tilapia from Latin America as a “good alternative” and tilapia from China as “to be avoided.” Less than 5 percent of the tilapia consumed in the United States is farmed within its borders, and that is mostly whole fish. Dr. Bridson said these rough ratings were largely based on the presence of effective monitoring in those places and how farms disposed of their waste. "

  1. That's such an interesting article, and definitely something I'd bear in mind.

    I dun eat much fish myself, and even if I do it's usually basa fillets or something like that.
