Omega-6 & Sushi - you choose

By Elizabeth Roberts, Health Guide Thursday, July 17, 2008

 

Knowing what I've gone through to get my gut to a "happy place" where I can live a relatively normal life within certain parameters, I'm simply not going to risk getting Anisakiasis, an illness caused by ingesting roundworms from improperly prepared sushi. I don't need anymore diarrhea, cramps, or vomiting than what I can have on any given day from and IBD flare.

 

So, there, that's my two cents on Omega-6 and sushi. These are my opinions and preferences for me but I wanted to make you aware so you, too, can make an informed decision about what you're eating.
