Is it true that catfish contain cancer cells? There are many rumors about this delicious fish, that there are about 3000 cancer cells located in the body of catfish. Let's peel in depth according to Dr. Oz Indonesia. Who does not know this one fish? Surely all countries know it because the meat is very soft and has a very high nutritional value. Catfish is a type of fish that is classified as very strong and can live even in wastewater. If you are in Indonesia, you will definitely not miss the name of catfish cuisine, there are many preparations that can be made with catfish ingredients, including pecel catfish, tongseng, basil, spicy catfish sauce, and many more. Why Many Public Opinion That Catfish Contain Cancer Cells, Is That True? This public opinion had become viral and even became a scene in the world of news information, and this has also been revealed by the television program Dr. Oz Indonesia. Then is it true that this catfish when consumed by someone can cause cancer? According to Dr. Oz Indonesia has been revealed and has been explained to conclude that there are 2 things that cause this catfish to have thousands of cancer cells, including: Where is the Place for Catfish Cultivated? What's Worth? The presence of this opinion made the fisheries service participate in conducting research and the results revealed that some of the sample catfish contained cancer cells and some were negative. After being investigated by various catfish farmers, it turned out that the cause was the place where the catfish were cultivated. There are some catfish that live in ponds with waste that is not fit for consumption and some live in fresh water. The catfish farmers admitted that the ability of catfish to live in murky waters even in piles of garbage or pig manure, so that farmers do not have to bother draining their pond water. This is what makes the catfish very toxic, the catfish is directly contaminated with liquids that are classified as having a bad impact on the consumer. Do Catfish Consuming Dirt or Waste According to doctor Oz Indonesia in his video, it has been stated that something from above can sink so that the catfish consumes it. What about poop droppings like chicken, bird or even pig? Of course, it's clear, isn't it, that catfish is one type of fish that eats dirt. Currently, many catfish farmers can use alternative feeds such as cow dung, poultry, humans and so on. This does provide a distinct advantage for catfish farmers, to reap 2x profits, the manufacturing process is very simple, for example, cow dung: Put cow dung into a barrel or container that can be closed, Mix waste such as tofu dregs, Stir until mixed, Leave it open the barrel or container, to invite flies to lay eggs, sugar or honey can be added, leave it for one week, so that the larvae or worms can come out and are ready to be harvested. If you look at it, it is very disgusting, the catfish that is consumed turns out to be used from worm feed. Not to mention, feed from human waste because this is precisely what is very dangerous because the worms that grow are hard to destroy even though they have been cooked, as a result the eggs settle in the catfish's body and enter the bodies of other humans. One of the most common examples is pinworms, which can survive approximately 3 weeks in even open areas. However, Dr. Oz said that not all breeders do this, that's why we have to be smart in choosing the right catfish market. Keep catfish clean and try to cook catfish food very thoroughly. Why Can Catfish Survive In Muddy Water, And Mixed With Dirt? Catfish are indeed equipped with the advantage of being able to survive in cloudy and dirty water because this type of fish is equipped with labyrinthine respiration. What is a maze? The labyrinth is an additional breathing apparatus for fish whose function is to take air up to the surface and store it for a long time, so don't be surprised if the catfish rises to the surface for only a short time but can last a long time under murky water that is poor in oxygen even if it is mixed with dirt.
