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.”
