When shopping for salmon, select wild-caught over farmed.

Question

Farmed fish has significantly higher amounts of contaminants that can accumulate in the body and increase health risks, so switching to wild-caught is the healthier choice. Don't get fooled, here's a helpful hint: "fresh Atlantic" indicates farmed salmon.

Answer

Sorry Glow, but there should be more than one source written in 2004 cited to bolster this health advice.

Interestingly, I found a more recent and relevant article that found that eating large quantities of farmed salmon didn't increase people's steady state levels of toxins like mercury and persistent organic pollutants (Source: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15287394.2014.926262). Essentially, the article concluded that just because you are consuming more mercury and POPs does not necessarily mean they will stay in your system.

More studies that focus on how certain toxins affect human health in differing consumption methods need to be conducted before definitive claims (like this one) can be made.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Wild caught is the best kind for any variety of fish you prefer and also another thing that matters is what part of the world it comes from. 😉
