Think farm raised salmon is healthier than wild salmon? Think again. A recent study published in Science magazine comparing the two found farmed salmon contains higher concentrations of cancer-causing contaminants than wild salmon.
The study concluded that while people can eat four to eight wild salmon meals a month without significant health risks, consumption of more than eight ounces of farmed salmon a month causes an "unacceptable cancer risk."
