/oss/taxonomy/term/2617/all en /oss/article/nutrition-quackery/tilapia-and-poop-connection <p>Fishermen tend to embellish the size of their catch, hence the expression “fish tale” for exaggerated stories like the ones making the rounds about tilapia, a fish that is increasingly showing up on dinner plates. Indeed, it is now the most widely consumed fish after salmon and tuna. Typically, headlines scream about tilapia being “Poop Fish,” “Worse Than Bacon,” “No Better for You Than A Doughnut” and that it is “ Like eating a rat!!” Relax. Tilapia will not poison you. You are better off eating it than bacon or doughnuts.</p> Thu, 13 Jul 2017 15:34:14 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 2572 at /oss
