Excess Salmon health risks?

Question

I have a thing for pink and red salmoln. I often eat a can of 420g pink salmoln every day. Is this excessive? Could there be any health risks/undesireable consequences to eating that much salmon? And if so what?

I mean think about it. That works out at 3 kilo's (6.6 pounds) of salmon a week. Is that too much or ok? Are certain brands more at risk than others? I mainly like to eat the brand name that sounds like it belongs to a member of the royal family (naming no names). Is that a particularly good brand?

If this is ok, how much is too much?

Answer 1

Salmon either red or pink is very good for you ,I eat two 150g tins per week ,450g per day is a bit too much ,but it will help keep the cholesterol count down. I would cut down on the 450g per day to about 450g per week,and get a more varied diet.

Answer 2

I would think it is fine, but the canned salmon will be high in salt generally. Look for the lower salt content.

Answer 3

Fresh almon would do you more good it contains no preservatives unlike tins (I could live on tinned salmon) but am trying to be good
