Dr Espinosa, in Dr Mark Moyad’s new book, “Promoting Wellness for Prostate Cancer Patients”, on page 20 in the table, he lists farm raised salmon as having far more omega-3 per serving than wild salmon. I have been under the impression that wild salmon is far superior to farm salmon, especially for PC patients.In fact, I thought PC patients should avoid farm salmon. What am I missing? Also on page 22 in this book he includes canola oil in the list of “healthy oils out there”. Again, I understood that PC patients should always avoid canola oil. What am I missing? Ted McHugh
Ted, you are an astute lay nutritionist. Unless my research is incorrect, farmed raised salmon is inferior to wild salmon with much less omega-3 fatty acids. Canola oil is an omega-6 fatty acid which is too high and not at the right ratio to omega-3 in out standard American diet. So yes, you are correct, wild salmon is better than farmed raised salmon and canola oil is least optimal. Virgin olive oil is preferable, do not cook for too long however. For cooking, coconut oil is best. Good luck.
