There have been many negative stories in the news recently about salmon. Is it a good or poor food choice? Because all salmon are not created equal, the answer is "yes and no."

When salmon is harvested from its wild, pristine, natural habitat, it is one of the finest foods available. The same cannot be said about farmed salmon, which suffers from an inferior fatty acid profile. And, unlike wild salmon, recent research has found high levels of PCBs—a carcinogenic nerve toxin—in farmed salmon (Both problems derive from their diet of commercial salmon feed.)

To learn more about why I always recommend wild Alaskan salmon and not farmed salmon, visit Environmental Media Services (www.ems.org).
You can find more information and great salmon products at www.vitalchoice.com—a leading purveyor of premium wild Alaskan salmon, tuna, halibut, and more. Much to my delight, they even offer a "Perricone Pack" that contains Alaskan salmon and wild, organic blueberries—two indispensable components of the Perricone Prescription.
And, you can find canned wild salmon in supermarkets year round—just make sure the can is stamped ALASKA on the top.
