Do You Know Your Tuna? WAIT! It Could be NOT Tuna at All!

-

Recent data shows that 59% of the tuna which Americans consume actually it is not real tuna. Should we believe this or not we will argue later in our article.




Do you love sushi?

 The most common examples of mislabeling are found in sushi sold on the markets and in sushi restaurants. Research shows that more than one third of the fish samples from all across USA were mislabeled, 60% of the tuna was completely different fish, 74% of the fish samples in sushi restaurants were mislabeled.

 Here is the complete list of their investigation:

  • 87% of fish sold as snapper was something else.
  • Mislabeling was found in 27 of the 46 different fish types they tested.
  • 59% of the tuna tested was not tuna.
  • 84% of the white tuna sold in sushi places was not tuna it was actually escolar. (Here we must stress out that Escolar is a type of fish that can cause dangerous disgestive effects that includes oily anal leakage!)
  • Grouper, Halibut, and red snapper had been substituted with king mackerel and tile fish. These two fish have been advised against consumption in pregnant women in order to avoid the high mercury content.
  • Do we test the imported seafood for fraud?

This fraud happened because we test only 1% of the fish imported in USA. During many years the tons of uncontrolled fish piled up in our markets and homes. To solve this situation and avoid the mislabeling and confusion we must create a system to control the other percent of imported food in order to avoid serious diseases.

 Loaded with mercury

 Since we were little kids we were thought that fish is good for us because it is rich in omega 3 fats which will do wonders for our health. Nowadays in this modern society where pollution has reached its highest point we can’t be sure that the food and especially the fish we consume are 100% healthy and clean. Tests conducted by Geological Survey have shown that tuna is high in mercury which may kill a person.

Do you love seafood?

 If you are great sea food lover than we suggest you to try wild caught food such as salmon or take some medicine such as chlorella tablets in order to help your organism absorb the mercury from the fish. Also herring, sardines and anchovies are great option due to their short life.

 However, always check the labeling, be aware what you eat and where you buy your favorite food.

 Try to avoid these:

  • Tuna (tuna steaks, sushi, canned tuna)
  • Halibut
  • Shark
  • Sea bass and largemouth bass
  • Pike
  • Sword fish
  • Marlin
  • Walleye
  • White croaker
