- stjohnswarts 5y agoYou have a source on farmed salmon being toxic? I'd think FDA (and other national equivalents) might have an issue with that...
- lr4444lr 5y agoI didn't specifically say farmed salmon was more toxic, just that the toxins we are concerned about in fish accumulate in the fat tissues. The FDA is very clear on this, even if they think the amounts are mostly of concern to pregnant and lactating women. https://www.fda.gov/food/consumers/questions-answers-fdaepa-advice-about-eating-fish-those-who-might-become-or-are-pregnant-or#V https://www.fda.gov/food/consumers/questions-answers-fdaepa-...
