Most problems with parasites come from home-prepared sushi.

And like most other things in life, it's fine in moderation (plus, it's so friggin' expensive that moderation isn't difficult to adhere to when it comes to sushi).

We call it bait.

I guess if its good enough for bluefish, its good enough for you.

Most of the food you buy today comes with the government approved levels of bug, fecal material, dirt, and inorganic materials.

Eat away. Just be mindful that rice is a carbohydrate food. Too much of it can expand your waistline.

You needn't worry about professionally prepared sushi, with regard to parasites. The tuna may have a bit of a high level of mercury, but you won't eat just tuna.

Watch your wallet, though...

Eating too much raw fish, sushi and sashimi causes physiological changes:

LEL knows a lot about sushi.

As long as the fish comes from a reputable fish monger, you should be fine.  The risk of toxins from bacteria, parasites, or mercury is remote.  Eat up!  "Fish make you live longer!"

Is eating alot of Sushi bad for you?

...when you get the urge to go out back of your garage and bury it by scraping dirt together, it's time to see somebody about it

Dirtboy is right.

Also note that nutritionists (dang them) now have this idea that there are higher risks due to mercury in seafood than previously believed so that the portion is no more than 2 servings of seafood per week. This doesn't mean two pieces of sushi, but rather the equivalent of two normal servings of fish, which I think is supposed to be about 3 or 4 ounces (stingy, aren't they?)

Sushi? Well, I hope you know how to eat it. Better try this video to learn how to do it right.

I watch everything I eat like a hawk

Then you'd most likely enjoy field mice too. 8>)

I assumed the omega 3 acids in the fish was always good for the heart but I'm no expert

You have to eat your sushi the right way:

Make sure you get it from a real sushi chef.

My two cents is that at least the sushi can't be lit on fire

I'm only an expert on the fact that I love sushi too. Salmon sushi is actually "cooked" in brine, I believe, although I don't know if that kills all parasites. Shrimp sushi is definitely cooked, although I don't eat shellfish. The "crab" in California rolls is usually some type of cooked whitefish, so I do eat those. They are great smothered in tobiko (the tiny orange fish roe). Delicious.
