Catfish is one of the foodstuffs favored by the people of the country. One type of freshwater fish can be processed into a variety of dishes and still has a good taste. Unfortunately, recently circulated information that states that catfish have cancer cells so it is better not to be consumed. Unmitigated, in the body of catfish it is said that there are about 3 thousand cancer cells. Is the information true? Health experts say that fish, which is known for its mustache, is included in foods that are low in cholesterol. Catfish is also rich in various nutrients that are good for the body, especially omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids. What is interesting is that these two types of fatty acids can actually provide benefits in the form of lowering blood pressure in the body. In fact, these fatty acids are said to be able to reduce the risk of various types of cancer. For information that states that in catfish there are cancer cells, until now there has been no scientific research that proves the truth. This means, this information is not true. Health experts say that even though catfish has a variety of nutrients that are good for the body, it's good for us not to consume catfish carelessly. In Indonesia itself, catfish is included in the fish that can be obtained easily and at the same time has a low price. Usually, the catfish sold in this market come from special farms that do provide catfish as food ingredients for households or places to eat. This type of catfish is clearly safe for consumption and clean. Unfortunately, there are some people who turn out to use catfish as a cleaner for dirt or pests in the fields. This catfish is certainly less clean and less safe for consumption.
