The truth about farmed salmon being the most toxic food

Dr. Le Thanh Luu - a leading expert on cold water fish (salmon, sturgeon) said that the information that eating farmed salmon is the most toxic food in the world is false.

In recent days, public opinion has been very worried about information released by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that: eating farmed salmon is the most toxic food in the world.

Salmon is one of the best foods in the world.

Regarding this issue, Dr. Le Thanh Luu - a leading expert on cold-water fish (salmon, sturgeon), Head of the International Cooperation and Information Department of the Vietnam Fisheries Association affirmed: "The above information is completely untrue."

Mr. Le Thanh Luu stated: “The information provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has no scientific basis, it is just general. I suspect that the article may have been written by competitors to reduce each other’s reputation, because people are now eating more salmon and less beef and pork.”

According to Dr. Luu, in some developed countries, there is a technology industry for processing feed for livestock, poultry and aquaculture from the bones of animals (pigs, cows) that have had all the meat removed, the meat is silvery and or low-quality fish. This is a very safe source of feed for raising salmon.

Salmon is one of the best foods in the world, especially in European and American countries, they only eat farmed salmon. To protect the environment, people do not exploit or catch salmon in the wild, do not exploit it to the point of extinction. Most of them eat farmed salmon, in a civilized society, people eat it, so they have to raise it.

Dr. Luu advises: people should not worry, they need to have multi-dimensional information. And the information that eating farmed salmon is toxic has no scientific data to prove it.
