We’ve all been told that salmon, packed with heart-healthy omega-3s and belly-flattening protein, is a great way to get strong, lean and healthy. That’s why you’d better sit down before you read the next sentence. Salmon makes you fat. Most salmon, that is. More than 90% of the fresh salmon eaten in this country comes from giant fish farms, not from nature. In fact, Atlantic salmon is 99% farmed, naturally white and fed pellets that contain pink dye. Yuck! And unlike the proteins and fats that truly do help us lose weight, farmed salmon can have the opposite effect.
