Should You Eat Tilapia?
Most tilapia fish comes from aquatic farms. The fish are fed a corn and soy-based diet which results in a higher content of omega-6 fatty acids but experts interviewed by Time magazine assure tilapia is perfectly safe to consume.
That being said, tilapia is an excellent source of protein. A 100g serving (about 3.5 oz) contains a whopping 26 grams of protein and only 129 calories.
It also contains a good amount of vitamins D and B-12.
