eat the fish because it's good for you you know it's free food yeah i mean that's that was the the assumption but that's not always the case and scarily doing the research for the show we found out actually can be inflammatory toxic nightmare for your body if you're not very careful and eat the right wants now i thought i was kind of educated on it i thought i knew i had read before which ones not to eat in high mercury in th sonata but in doing this and finding this one particular article that we really you know i learned a lot and i was very scared exactly very very that the peanut butter and jelly for me so the you know between the say the new and the water around you so what happens is freshwater fish tend to gain a lot of water through their gills on the skin over their bodies freshwater fish drink a little bit of water they actually produce a lot of urine so you know if you have we will have those goldfish yeah so they're freshwater body so what they do is they they don't produce as much you are in and that's good you know as we swim in the ocean so it's good to know it's not filled with this year and here good thing there's not a lot of gold fish in the ocean is one better for you than the other to eat actually saw what a fish has a lot of as a good has mercury compared to a lot of freshwater fish has more toxins like the p c b and you know chemicals that build up and they have high concentrations of that in the air in their flesh so the best of the do is eat a little bit of fresh water and salt water i'd rather have the bacon myself donuts and a hamburger could be give me a give me a hamburger and don't have and some bacon i you know if you're trying to to watch your health and your weight you're thinking oh let me have tilapia and in reality having a burger and eighty percent lean burger is healthier for you that's that's a scary thought i would think probably not a ten people would choose the fish as the healthier option a make a three fatty acids which are the healthy ones that actually help you so right there it's problem and it says that it's very dangerous actually the dangerous levels that they carry are harmful to number one on fish you should never eat and so if you see it on any menu whether it says it's farm raised fresh caught wild don't just they're saying that because of the type of fish and the way that it is stay away will form reason actually so discussing go ahead tell the viewers what you told me before but let's try to say it a different way ok farm raised four ways to lapin so overcrowded so then that goes into them and then that's what you're eating on top of it yeah discuss the now i have a donut thank you yeah that's a lot because off my list for every now and and i hope everybody pays attention to that because it's some scary stuff and it's real so yeah comas ations of the caribbean sea but it's been over fished and now the fish industry for cod fish has collapsed it's the species it's been so over fish that so they have atlanta callow but flounder or soul now flounder and solar too that i know that i've seen and that i've also wondered no no no no no they say pacific halibut is a better option  however there's issues with all of them they say that they conducted investigation and it identified the nine worst fisheries in the u s and they showed that commercial fishermen in the u s through about two billion pounds very good chance that it's come from one of the damaging fisheries in the u s that don't follow the proper procedures protocols safety measures anything like that so if you are in the us you do not want to order get really bad and they have unhealthy and unsanitary conditions and they don't follow all the procedures so therefore the fish are contaminated if you will and toxic yeah so you know i say only you can go and think you're buying organic fish you know or fresh fish at some place and i guess you can take that chance but a lot of times they do get them from certain fisheries and yeah you don't know where the the end result was you know that the guy you're buying it from was not out in the morning in his boat with a fishing pole when bringing it in so i mean you got to worry about where it really comes from yeah what else do we have caviar caviar the beluga sturgeon it's actually an agent fish that's highly sought after for the fish eggs which is the caviar these fish grow to be very low very large and can have to be a hundred years old wow a single fish can carry several hundred pounds of kemi are making the carrier worth up to thirty five hundred dollars two thousand five hundred dollars a pound hound and it can make several hundred pounds so that's expensive fish yeah it's actually the most valuable fish in the world to the fisherman ok but this is another fish that is headed its way to extinction because of  fish that's terrible so that's why we should stay away from caviar yeah but what they say and overturn it is is poor man's caviar which is a  plant or texas caviar which is that black eyed peas concoction do you think it would it probably doesn't taste anything like regular caviar i'm not a huge caviar fan but if you had kept your once it's salty insulting and so i had had it once that was it but there's people who like die for it collect it pay thousands for and love it and it's not a good thing right exactly and the chefs didn't want to say we're serving patagonian tooth fish because who's going to want to eat that exactly some chefs came up with the name to lay in sea bass because it sounded so much prettier way but it's not a real thing and so people think all that's bass chilean sea bass now the reason you should never eat this is because they say that it has elevated mercury or mercury levels and the harvesting the fish from chile is especially problematic because it counts for twenty percent of the u s imports and it adds to the management by catch problems that they're having with all the the fisheries mercury levels are terrible for you if you eat a lot of fish they do the levels can build up you can actually become toxic right there are very harmful for pregnant women yeah and so you're not supposed to eat anything that contains mercury at all if you're pregnant so we're going to want to stay away from that exactly but believe it or not you are slow to mature and they've been over  so they probably go in the dark i would think yeah but i'm sure a lot of people eat them so i'm glad that they are advising people stay away you should really limit it farmed salmon now that's it land or wild caught now people always say well i always ask and i make sure i get you know it land her wild salmon cause it's healthiest yeah not so say the experts they say americans eat fish suffer eating farmed fish we all know how to use it's overcrowded bad conditions and sanitary disgusting and that would be why you'd want to avoid that to make your stomach turns it's gross and it causes parasites in the fish and everything else then they say there's it's illegal to fish wild atlantic salmon because they're an endangered species so right there there's a problem you don't want to eat something that is an endangered species used to be they said that there is dioxin levels in farm raised salmon that's eleven times higher than those in wild salmon and it's very very very unhealthy for you it's linked to things such as cancer or again damage and immune system dysfunction you really have to limit the amount of salmon you have if you're going to have it you definitely want to get  wild caught but again it's an endangered species so if you can live with yourself with that it's up to you yeah and there's an increased risk of weight gain and metabolic syndrome in a study they did with mice who were eating salmon and so in the long run you think thief for me and i'm on a diet and i'm going to eat you know some boiled salmon it's a vegies and it is not as healthy for you as you think some of them even contain pesticides because of right off of the water and that they then consume and absorb in their body it's a very scary thing a lot of these fish whether they're in rivers or legs pick up because of our terrible environment a lot of that's going on with it because we remember when  this is cheap again this is that it's really cheap and it's you know i know boss is this new trendy thing i've seen it on several menus i had no idea it was catfish and it was two dollars a pound  i honestly thought it was some you know exotic healthy fish that was swimming out in the caribbean or something and now we find out it's one of the filthiest fish on the menu that's disgusting i mean bacteria they found and it's just it's a scary thing and like you said antibiotics pesticides disinfectant some of these things they get flushed down toilets and put into the water system ends up into these fish so when they've actually tested them they found these things in the fish so these are all raised in these say like from vietnam in these ponds that are basically full of wast sludge and they're also fool it's also full of pesticides disinfectants disgusting and it there was that big catfish crackdown that they had because they were finding restaurant stores places were labeling it different thanks grouper right soul you know you thought you were flounder congar pate certain types of evil they were saying you know well here you go this is what it is a people are buying it for a lot more money thinking it was a healthier thing and it was nothing but toxic waste two dollar catfish yeah yeah that's terrible they save you see one of these imported catfish items on the menu wrong you know and they all go with believed you and they say that you need to take it as a sign either that restaurant or that grocery store or seafood market yeah is not really trying to take their seafood safety seriously right and that they're just trying to make money and they really don't care about you so you have to watch out imported farm shrimp shrimp is a huge thing i mean if people don't eat f sometimes they just dietrich right and you have to watch because farm shrimp again accounts for ninety percent of the shrimp that we consume so most of the shrimp that you get is in that discussed in condition yeah overcrowded and being fed feces you want to  a gross thing i saw on t v sure it was these swim that were really i guess they were raised in china so what they were doing they were taken to the swim and they were injecting them with this with with a i see like a plastic the problem of mak see their bodies puffed up and was due to steroids yeah it was just the plastic that's costing they said that shrimp accounts for thirty percent of all the seafood that we import so the fact that american eat americans eat about four pounds a year he said you really need to learn which are eating so you need to know that in two thousand and nine italian researchers did a study and they found that a food additive used to prevent discoloration in the shrimp  possessed estrogen like a fax so there was actually a food additive put on to the shrimp so that it didn't change color and it lasted longer you know shelf value and that particular additive that they were putting on the shrimp that people were consuming was reducing sperm count in men and increasing breast cancer risk in women so you know you get all these women that breast cancer be saying well where's it coming from where's it coming from is that cell phones microwaves deodorants make up it's probably all of that and people eating shrimp thinking it's a healthy thing and not realizing the connection scary they said that there's terrible terrible conditions in thailand  they have like a slave network that's it's their peeling shrimp sold around the world shrimp peeled by modern day slaves is sold in the u s and people are unaware of that yeah that's horrible  pesticide use globally introduction are banned in the u s yeah but they're used in other countries right so when it comes from the other country you get it you consume it toxic yeah they said some of the pond the borders where shrimp come cause memory loss tremors there's all kinds of fungal i that you can get by consuming them and sometimes it has a delayed reaction caused parkinson syndrome they're saying you know go on there's a food and water watch site yeah go on food and water watch and they tell you exactly on the average where the shrimp comes from the trace the track yeah you could try to get healthier better shrimp they say you know get wild shrimp from the u s gulf and that's a better option but they said unfortunately there are some fisheries down in that area and they're not following sanitary safety measures and so they said seriously do you still want to eat shrimp just be forewarned that one of the investigative groups uncovered seafood fraud in the shrimp department they found out that thirty percent of shrimp samples tested were mislabeled and that twenty five percent of shrimp samples that were labeled as wild or thought to be wild were actually farm raised so even if you read the label even if you look at the tag when you're buying it at the market yeah it cannot be true exactly that's it legs terrible yeah again so we have to kind of speed up the list we have a lot on there and we're getting low on time i here aren't rafi it's one of the longest living wearing fish species it could be up one hundred fifty years old so again it's overfished it's a very old fish and so you know again you don't want to eat something that hangs out on the ocean floor as an adult that has hired mercury levels and live up to hundred fifty years old because imagine how much atlantic bluefin tuna one of the biggest sushi items they say and it's again being overfished it's in the realm of getting extinct they say that again you know there's a huge population collapse and an extinction threat so when you eat sushi you want to know what you're getting in two thousand and fifteen a restaurant in santa monica was found for they were fined for selling whale meat they were selling sushi they were telling people as bluefin tuna and they were cutting up whales and serving it to their customers meat from an indeed and endangered whale on top of it so you know you just you got to go to reputable places too because you just don't really know what you're getting yeah like swordfish basically swordfish shoes to be avoided because it's full of mercury the levels are so high that it's not recommended at all for women who are children to eat it and mention only have one serving a month if they're going to have swordfish ok we're going to wrap up the list because we're running out of time because the there's so many toxic things we have king mackerel group or group or used to be one of my favorites they're saying it's a common target a seafood fried you think you're getting it they tell you you're getting it you're getting a different type of fish sturgeon again i know smoke sturgeon is a big thing and they say not healthy mislabelled you know you just really don't know what you're getting when you shop for seafood and you don't know what you're doing to your health so you need to be extra vigilant careful so let's look at some healthier options wild caught alaskan salmon if you if you eat the well court alaskan salmon you actually get to enjoy the two benefits of salmon so while quotes the way to go exactly and so as we're wrapping up the show now we just want to remind you do your research look what you're buying look at your eating look where you go to eat it exactly right and so are you ready to go the seafood buffet with me maybe not today all right i thought and not today in closing the show we just want to give us special dedication
