It's funny to think of how sushi is constantly portrayed as a healthy food by many people. Yet in reality although it may not have gone through the cooking processes to create trans fat or destroy its nutrition it does come with many other risks as I'll explain. Find out the exact dangers of sushi and why you should be concerned about them.
What are the risks of eating sushi?
Parasites: These organisms are well known to exist in just about any life form they can extract nutrients out of. Fish are no exception! Most times you won't actually notice the effects of a parasite until enough time has passed for it to cause health problems for you. As the entire purpose of a parasite is to remain hidden and not detected, many of the symptoms it can cause you wouldn't even think of such as emotional and mental problems, worsened allergies and asthma amongst other things. Of course they also cause many digestive problems. Simply put sushi is never safe from parasites, in fact were you aware the real reason wasabi is recommended with sushi is because it kills parasites and some bacteria found on sushi, so at the very least make sure to eat lots of wasabit with your sushi. Avoid the ginger however as most of it contains aspartame, bet you didn't know that!
Heavy Metals: Fish are easily the #1 worst food to eat in terms of heavy metals. Some studies have found heavy metal levels so high that consuming some fish more often than once per month can cause significant toxicity. Mercury, lead and aluminum are but a few of the major contaminants. Symptoms can include physical, mental and emotional problems just like parasites such as chronic fatigue, depression and a difficulty concentrating. Immune suppression is very common which can lead to a host of other problems down the road including cancer.
Bacteria: If it wasn't bad enough already you then have the bacteria which are responsible for the more acute symptoms of food poisoning people experience on occasion from eating raw food such as sushi. Salmonella is but one example of many. It's one of the most commonly experienced dangers of sushi. What most people do not realize is that often who are most susceptible to being affected by bad bacteria also suffer from another fungus in their body known as candida.
Candida is in approximately 90% of the population and those who suffer from either parasites, heavy metals or a chronic bacterial infection are at the greatest risk of suffering from it. So even if you end up doing a parasite cleanse you now have the job of clearing out candida from your body. It causes a greater amount of symptoms than all the risk factors above combined and next to heavy metals can be one of the most difficult to completely eliminate unless a proper plan of action is following. First though you should take a candida test to see if any symptoms you experience from day to day are major signs of candida.
