I believe this article lays it on thick and has some errors. But wild salmon is definitely superior to fram-raised, not least in flavor.

Gotta watch that fram-raised variety. Loved this headline, by the way!

Wild salmon caught off the California coast was not included in the study.Too bad. We have some great salmon coming from places like, Bodega Bay, Morro Bay, Half Moon Bay, Santa cruz, etc. Right about now we it's coming from Alaska, though.
I am about to head to the farmer's market to get some wild salmon...

University of Michigan and PETA team up again.
This study is guaranteed to be full of holes.

Hypocrisy is wanting to "Save the Salmon"... then eating them.

The European Salmon farms are a disaster and our farms are heading in the same direction. Seems they're breeding places for disease.

Federal regulators and salmon-raising businesses, including California fish farms, said the study exaggerates the medical threat.
... the study, funded by the Pew Charitable Trust. Don't know much about the "Pew Charitable Trust", but I seem to recall from the days when I still watched TV that they "advertised" much on the left-wing NPR. Absent further input, this makes me somewhat suspicious...

My wive and I went on a cruise to Alaska two years ago.
There is nothing like Alaskan Salmon.
You can smoke it, poach it, bake it, broil it......

Maybe this problem extends to farm-raised fish of all types?
To: Canticle_of_Deborah
It probably doesn't help. One thing particular thing to salmon is the pink flesh. Farm-raised salmon doesn't have pink flesh, so they have to give it something to make it pink. They often feed farm-raised fish dog food, or something like it.

Absent further input, this makes me somewhat suspicious...I don't believe this "warning" represents anything except the continuing war against farmed animals of all kinds. This bunch doesn't want us to eat farmed OR wild salmon.

Salmon farmers should sue PETA, I mean the University of Michigan, for this one.
A quick
search of "Salmon Farming" PETA will demonstrate PETA's campaign against Salmon Farming throughout the world.
Salmon is one of the best sources of calcium and Omega-3, a fat that reduces cholesterol and reduces the clogging of arteries from cholesterol. Those on the Atkins diet will do themselves a huge disfavor if they reduce the level of Salmon or fish in their diet.

I love salmon and eat it regularly but almost always in restaurants. I eat it partly to cut down on my beef intake. One every two months is about normal for me but that's because of cost, not health concerns. I smother mine in lemon juice before eating. I never ask them where the fish came from and doubt some of them would know themselves.
I am somewhat suspicious of these types of "alarm" studies. Of course, I'm never going to be pregnant and if I get anything else it's my own fault. But nobody's going to talk me out of eating fish, shrimp, oysters and gumbo. They can try until they're blue in the face. It won't work.
