High Omega-6, Low Omega-3 Ratio

Tilapia contains more omega-6 fatty acids and very little omega-3s compared to other fish like salmon.

A diet high in omega-6s and low in omega-3s can promote inflammation, which is linked to heart disease and other chronic conditions.

Farm-Raised Concerns

Most tilapia sold worldwide is farmed, especially in Asia and Latin America.

Poor farming practices may expose fish to antibiotics, pesticides, and pollutants.

Some farms have crowded conditions, leading to unhealthy fish quality.
