RE: canned salmon - xenoestrogens

[Guest guest]

Right about xenoestrogens. It is also believed that the chemical manufactureres

spray inside cans to make the food inside taste less canny is a xenoestrogenic

agent. Since I am very sensitive to those, I guess I'll have to get my omega

3's another way. Not everyone is sensitive to xenoestrogen (sometimes called

ecoestrogen) and there is controversy around the issue.

Canned Salmon!? Yuckkkk! (very scientific response, don't you think?). Please

tell us that lox and or a nice grilled piece of fresh Alaskan Salmon with a

touch of coconut and teriyaki will do the trick. Here is a brief overview of

Jo's concern with Xenoestrogens.

Jo: It has nothing to do with price. Canned salmon has a couple of

excellent qualities:

1. Most canned salmon is of the superior Wild Alaskan variety (contains the

most Omega 3's) whereas much of the fresh salmon is not.

2. It contains chewable soft bones full of valuable minerals.

I would limit the amount of smoked salmon you ingest, since smoking meat or

fish exposes you to carcinogens. I've never heard of xenoestrogens; could

you elaborate?
