Nigerian Catfish Pepper Soup (popularly
known as Point & Kill)can be a source of
cancer due to its abundance in omega 6 fatty
acids. A cardiologist, Dr. Jane Anisulowo, says
that farm or home-grown catfish is the worst
example in this regard, as it contains more
fatty hormones than the ones harvested from
natural water.
Anisulowo says,
“Fish is better than meat, no
doubt. It digests easily and it
contains proteins. However,
catfish is not really a good
option, especially the ones
they sell these days, which
are cultivated with hormonal
feeds that are filled with
steroids and other fattening
chemicals just to make them
profitable. These chemicals
are cancerous in
nature.“Also, they contain so
much oil that you can almost
taste it. Fish, generally,
contains oil, but catfish has
oil in its skin. That is what
makes it so oily and
unhealthy.
“It also contains a lot of poly
unsaturated fat that does not
only make you fat but also
settles in the blood stream.
That is very dangerous
because when blood fails to
get to an organ, it fails and
suffers paralysis.”“If you can
get the one from the river,
which is rare in most cities,
then you may eat it twice a
month. But if the only one you
can get is the one that is
being reared by farmers, you
don’t have to eat at all, or
just eat it when it is partially
smoked. In that way, some of
the fats would have been lost
in the process. Better still,
there are some other species
of fish that are oily but they
contain good fats and are
more nutritious.”
