Accepted Answer

Calcium: Sardines are eaten whole, while salmon is generally eaten in filets, or boneless. The tiny sardine bones contain calcium.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Excellent nutrition: Sardines are an excellent source of healthy fats (omega-3 fatty acids), calcium, iron and vitamins B12 and D, for starters. A 1-cup serving 3 times weekly is a healthy way to go. Hope that helps.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Salomon: contains good fat, Omega 3, so it's good to eat.  Avoid transfats, those made by humans, basically chemicals that preserve junk food.  Omega 6 fats are found in vegetable oils such as corn oil, canola oil, etc.  We ave too much in our body already.  Look for Omega 3 such as in fish oil.  Peace and good health.  Ask your doc about a ketogenic diet if you have weight concerns.  Peace and good health

Question 4

i eat 35-40 ounces of fish a week (farmed salmon fillet a day). is this healthy? (mercury concern?

Accepted Answer

: Your intake of Salmon is okay. I trust that you have other healthy habits as well. 
Visit this site for info about fish: https://www.fda.gov/food/consumers/advice-about-eating-fish
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 5

38yr old female recent cbc normal.but b12 1119 ug/l range 130-900ug/l eat salmon almost daily.can lab tests place a percentage of healthy people outside the high range on testing? b12 test in march was 750ug/l i dont take supplements .i feel healthy?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the B12 level is not a cause for concern.    
Wish you good health!

Question 6

can i eat frozen salmon from costco raw (as sashimi)?

Accepted Answer

Eat Healthy : If the salmon is sushi grade, why not? It is better to ask the store in charge in seafood to be sure.

Question 7

can i eat wild salmon 3 times a week? it's the season and i have a lot of it.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Wild salmon is a wonderful source of protein and if they are running, just enjoy. Obviously, you can have too much of a good thing. But three servings a week is A-OK.

Question 8

i eat a can of sardines everyday. is there a mercury risk associated with this?

Accepted Answer

Sardines and Mercury: Sardines are considered the healthiest of fish as far as mercury contamination; they are at the bottom of the aquatic chain based on what they eat and do not feed on things contaminated with mercury, so you can relax!!

Question 9

hello doctors, another question for you all because i have no life and no friends. are sardines healthy?

Accepted Answer

Forget the sardines.: You do have a life, and regarding friends, you need to start somewhere. With a question like yours, i sense the need for therapy from a local therapist. Start to feel better about yourself, and you will have more friends than you know what to do with (although you only really need a few good ones).

All the best...

Question 10

is it bad to eat salmon 5 days outta the week?

Accepted Answer

No: Salmon is rich in desirable omega 3`s and is an excellent source of protein. It`s a lot healthier than eating red meat 5 times a week.
