In a mouthful of catfish meat, there are 3000 cancer cells. That's a chain of news circulating on social networks that call catfish the dirtiest fish. This news is 100 percent fake. Facts say catfish is low in cholesterol. Catfish circulating in the market are generally cultivated in ponds, which should be controlled so that they are free from pollution. Currently there is no research that states that eating catfish can trigger cancer, said Dr. Dradjat R Suardi, SpB(K)Onk, a cancer expert from the Indonesian Oncology Association.
