Would you tell your daughter the truth?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Yesterday, while perusing my Facebook account (more specifically, looking in on my kids\u2019 pages, so I know what\u2019s happening in their life, like \u2013 oh, like they left town and forget to tell me <\/em>\ud83d\ude42 \u2026)<\/em>,\u00a0 I noted that my beloved daughter had cooked up a delicious platter of Tilapia.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, I am all for fish, because it is delish, (oh that rhymes \u2013 fish\/delish \u2013 I feel like Dr. Seuss)<\/em> and you get twice as much bang for your calorie buck than you do with red meat (one ounce of fish is approx. 50 calories; one ounce of beef is approx. 100 calories!!!). <\/em><\/p>\n

However, farm-raised Tilapia, one of the most popular fish in America, has very low levels of omega-3s (the beneficial kind of omegas) <\/em>and it has very high levels of potentially detrimental omega-6-fatty acids.\u00a0 (Source:\u00a0 Dr. Andrew Weil)<\/p>\n

Omega-6 fatty acids are pro-inflammatory.\u00a0\u00a0 Inflammation is known to cause damage to blood vessels, the heart, lung and joint disease, skin and the digestive tract.<\/p>\n

Dr. Weil tells us,\u00a0 \u201cFollowing an anti-inflammatory diet can help counteract the chronic inflammation that is a root cause of many serious diseases, including those that become more frequent as people age. It is a way of selecting and preparing foods based on science that can help people achieve and maintain optimum health over their lifetime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe anti-inflammatory diet is a blueprint for a lifetime of optimum nutrition. Simple changes in how you eat can help counteract chronic inflammation, a root cause of many serious diseases, including:<\/p>\n

* Heart disease
\n* Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
\n* Age-related disorders, including many cancers
\n* Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

(for more information on Dr. Weil\u2019s anti-inflammatory diet, click here<\/a>!)<\/em><\/p>\n

So \u2013 do I \u2018comment\u2019 on her Facebook page with a \u201cNO!!! Don\u2019t eat the Tilapia?\u201d – which may be an ‘inflammatory remark.’\u00a0 Do I call them up, just as they are about to chow down?\u00a0 Or \u2026 do I wait till their dinner is over; or the next day to comment?\u00a0\u00a0 Cause seriously, how bad can one serving of pro-inflammatory fish be?\u00a0 Or \u2026 do I Blog about it and hope they read it?<\/p>\n

What would you do?<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing,
