(NaturalNews) Just when you thought eating fish was iffy enough due to Fukushima radiation, the gulf oil spill, mercury and other toxins found in fish, one of the largest seafood fraud investigations in the world to date has found that 59 percent of the tuna Americans consume is not really tuna. Worse still, most of the fake tuna was found to actually be a fish known for causing gastrointestinal problems.

Some of these fish are raised in the Mekong, and some of these Mekong sourced fish have dangerous parasite issues that can infect humans if not properly cooked. My advice is to go to a higher end restaurant for seafood and they will more likely tell you where it is from and what it is in the menu description. http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=270520
