Avoid These 10 Fish at All Costs (And 5 That Are Actually Safe to Eat)

Fish is supposed to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet — rich in omega-3s, great for the brain, heart, and longevity. But today’s seafood market tells a very different story. Behind the labels and pretty packaging, many popular fish are loaded with mercury, microplastics, antibiotics, parasites, and industrial toxins that older adults’ bodies simply cannot handle.
In this video, we uncover 10 common fish you should avoid at all costs — the ones most likely to damage your memory, strain your liver, weaken your immune system, and accelerate inflammation without you ever noticing. Some of these “healthy” choices are actually among the most contaminated foods in America.
But there are safe options. At the end, we’ll reveal 5 clean, low-mercury, sustainable fish that nutrition experts recommend for anyone over 50 who wants better heart health, sharper brain function, and stronger bones.
If fish is part of your weekly meals — or if you’re trying to eat healthier — you need this guide. It could change the way you shop forever.
