The Business of Health: Is Farm-Raised Salmon Safe?:
When it comes to choosing a healthy fish to consume for your dinner, salmon is one of the most popular choices in the country.  But recently, many nutritionists and environmentalists have told consumers, “buyer beware”, especially when it comes to farm-raised salmon, as they have less of the benefits, and more of the problems, than their free-range counterparts.  This warning has many customers checking their labels, as over 60% of all fish consumed in the U.S. is farm-raised.  As part of “The Business of Health” segment on American Entrepreneur Radio, Dr. Will Clower of Mediterranean Wellness talks about the safety of farm-raised salmon, and what you need to know next time you are about to purchase or consume any fish product.
