NA EVRITIN U WAN SPOIL FOR US, FOR DIS FISH MATTER I NO GO GREE

geerrarahere mehn miss wat do u knw abt nutrition.catfish has lots of oil in its skin yes but as long as its not processed with bad chemicals its healthy.ive been eating catfish for d past one year and ive lost great amount of weight.anytin natural doesnt contain bad fat unless processed unnaturally or consumed in large amounts.oils that are naturally produced e.g palm oil from palm kernels,groundnut oil,olive oil are healthy except vegetable oil which undergo lot of chemical processes before it can be produced.

The MOD that banned me for my creative contribution is highly sentimental and your ban can never deter me from doing my good work.

Nothing is health nowadays

It's because of the feeds use in feedind livestocks, agrochemicals use in cultivating crops and chemicals used in preserving food.

I know of a doctor who was caught using unclaimed corpes from his motuary to feed his cat fishes. They were very big.

Some people selling peeled melon use detergent to wash them to make them white.

Some people uses chemicals for preserving dead bodies to preserve chicken and tuckey. One would buy fresh frozen chicken both no taste.

Traders would add a can of a white chemical to a drum half filled with red oil and cook it. It would turn to full drum of red oil. One would buy the fine oil, but the taste would be some how.

Any food we buy in the market is suspect. It is only God that is helping us.

Yes. Catfish is high in unsaturated fat--that is the bad fat.

But! That is not to say NO to catfish consumption.

Just.......

Everything in moderation. Simples.

Even water can kill you if you drink too much.

Eat, pray, love. Be merry. Life is too short. Enjoy it while it lasts.

it is not healthy atall, it is the swine of the rivers.

Thought they said smoked foods ain't so healthy? Cos of PAHs, smoke et al ... but here they're recommending it... which one person go follow?

partially smoked

Biko... Get yhur facts right before u start spitting rubbish... Catfish is very nice and is even recommended for diabetic patients hence it is without high cholesterol

LuckyLadolce:
Bukola Adebayo

Catfish is one of the most popular and readily available fish in Nigeria. In fact, its delicacy – irresistible to many people – is very common at social gatherings.

It tastes great and is affordable when compared to other varieties of fresh fish in the market.

But do you know that the omega 6 fatty acids in catfish can increase your risk of getting blood clots, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and some cancers?

Though doctors say fish is a better and healthier option than meat, they quickly add that not all types of fish are good for the heart.

Nutritionists say that catfish is loaded with bad fat and high cholesterol that encourage clotting of the blood, a condition whereby blood flow is impeded. This may lead to cardiac arrest, thrombosis and, in some cases, heart attacks.

A cardiologist, Dr. Jane Anisulowo, says that farm or home-grown catfish is the worst example in this regard, as it contains more fatty hormones than the ones harvested from natural water.

Anisulowo says, “Fish is better than meat, no doubt. It digests easily and it contains proteins. However, catfish is not really a good option, especially the ones they sell these days, which are cultivated with hormonal feeds that are filled with steroids and other fattening chemicals just to make them profitable. These chemicals are cancerous in nature.

“Also, they contain so much oil that you can almost taste it. Fish, generally, contains oil, but catfish has oil in its skin. That is what makes it so oily and unhealthy.

“It also contains a lot of poly unsaturated fat that does not only make you fat but also settles in the blood stream. That is very dangerous because when blood fails to get to an organ, it fails and suffers paralysis.”

A study conducted by the National Institute of Health in 2012, using over 1000 species of the fish in different water shows that catfish contains a high amount of unfavourable omega-6 fat that causes inflammation in the body.

According to the researchers, three-ounce portion of catfish contains the same amount of bad fats found in red meat.

This is not to say that one should give up eating the fish as catfish contains some nutrients such as Omega3 fatty acids that are good for the body.

Anisulowo says, “If you can get the one from the river, which is rare in most cities, then you may eat it twice a month. But if the only one you can get is the one that is being reared by farmers, you don’t have to eat at all, or just eat it when it is partially smoked. In that way, some of the fats would have been lost in the process. Better still, there are some other species of fish that are oily but they contain good fats and are more nutritious.”

Here are some other species that you can add to your diet:

Mackerel

They are popularly known as Titus fish. The oily meat found on mackerel is its main health benefit. The fish oil, which is also known as omega-3 fatty acid, can be so beneficial that it is used as a supplement.

It lowers triglycerides. High levels of triglycerides in the body have been linked to heart disease and stroke. The most common causes of a high triglyceride level are obesity and poorly maintained diabetes, mainly stemming from an inactive lifestyle.

Some researchers have found out that omega-3 fatty acid is even more effective in reducing heart attacks than some commonly-prescribed drugs.

Mackerel and other fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids are good for the blood. They help to boost blood circulation and lower blood pressure.

Tilapia

Tilapia is a high-quality fish. It has proteins and contains all the essential amino acids your body requires from food diet to help to build proteins. One portion of tilapia cooked using dry heat contains about 26 grammes of protein. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adult men consume at least 56 grammes of protein, adult women consume at least 46 grammes and pregnant and nursing women consume 71 grammes of protein each day. Eating tilapia can help you to achieve that.

It may help in weight control. Tilapia is naturally low in fat, and only contains about 128 calories in each portion. According to a study published in a 2006 edition of “The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation”, subjects who consumed eight grammes of tilapia each week showed an improved body weight .

The human body also needs omega 6 fatty acid. The omega 6 fatty acid in catfish is not that much as the writer put it to be, the method of processing could also affect the fatty acid content. By frying the fish you increase its omega 6 fatty acid composition, it's better to boil it as this reduces the omega 6 content to a more acceptable rate. There is a standard ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acid that humans a supposed to consume and the catfish is relatively ideal in that aspect. There is a lot of literature on subject matter.

The other day, it was Suya gives cancer, now Catfish!! Wetin bois go chop when Dem go high

I am not qualified enough to speak on the matter but I will still voice my opinion.
In my opinion cholesterol is produced by the body yes, it is essential to the body yes but too much of everything is bad they say, There is what they call low and high density Lipo protein cholesterol one is responsible for sending cholesterol to where needed while the other is responsible for collecting excess and aiding in shipping it out of the body, when the cholesterol in the blood vessels becomes excess it reduces blood flow, increase workrate of the heart without increasing its output, it increases resting heart rate and all this increases blood pressure leading to more severe cardiovascular issues. So why cholesterol will not will not necessarily cause diabetes it will kill a person faster than diabetes

Peel the skin before consumption cos dt is where d PAHs is
