Medical Forum / General / General / February 2007What if you ate nothing but sushi
What would happen if you ate nothing but sushi all the time? What nutrients would you lack? One problem might be mercury but that's mostly in the tuna. What would happen if you ate nothing but sushi all the time? What nutrients would you lack? One problem might be mercury but that's mostly in the tuna. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The nutrients that are in various fruits and vegetables. A balanced diet is the best type of diet. Jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >What would happen if you ate nothing but sushi all the time? What would happen is you'd develop an allergy to sushi. It happened to a friend of mine. No kidding. Bummer of an allergy (it would be for me). -A In article <1170962149.828675.65400@m58g2000cwm.googlegroups.com>, Richard Fangnail <richardfangnail@excite.com> wrote: >What would happen if you ate nothing but sushi all the time?

Bummer of an allergy (it would be for me). -A ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello, I would not eat sushi since some fish have microorganisms and parasites. Anyone that does eat sushi should do google searches for these terms: fish microorganisms fish parasites There was a person in a newsgroup that indicated that he developed "blood in his urine" after eating sushi. He was concerned that he had kidney disease due to the excessive amounts of blood in his urine. I don't believe he ever told us the results of the blood and urine tests that were done by his doctor. Jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >I would not eat sushi since some fish have microorganisms and parasites. Feel free to avoid it if you want. Generally the Japanese are quite careful about the quality of fish they serve. I try to avoid raw fish prepared in a place not known for sushi. >There was a person in a newsgroup that indicated that he developed >"blood in his urine" after eating sushi.

I don't believe he ever told us the results of the blood and >urine tests that were done by his doctor. Men develop blood in their urine for many reasons including too-vigorous masturbation. Two friends I know who went to doctors concerning blood in the urine. The doctors would not conclude anything and the problem eventually went away. -A >>I would not eat sushi since some fish have microorganisms and parasites. > >Feel free to avoid it if you want.

There aren't any parasites that move between mammals and marine fish. There isn't any way to close the cycle. Freshwater fish are another story -- but sushi is never made from freshwater fish. Marine fish caught away from shore and exposure to sewage are free of dangerous microbes if they are handled in a properly sanitary manner. >Hello, >I would not eat sushi since some fish have microorganisms and parasites. >Anyone that does eat sushi should do google searches for these terms: > >fish microorganisms >fish parasites A more useful and relevant search would be sushi parasites Searching on fish is much too broad, and will yield much irrelevant noise. If you narrow the search to the topic of interest, you will increase the fraction of more relevant hits. Indeed, there is a legitimate issue about parasites in sushi, but it is a minor issue -- so long as proper procedures are followed. As another poster has already noted, the fish used for sushi are a small sub-class of all fish, and have few parasites that can be transmitted to humans. Proper handling of the fish reduces that to minimal. (I must admit to not finding the idea of raw meat of any kind particularly appealing. But I won't claim any objective reason for that.) bob On Fri, 09 Feb 2007 16:43:23 -0800, jason@nospam.com (Jason Johnson) wrote: >Hello, >I would not eat sushi since some fish have microorganisms and parasites. >Anyone that does eat sushi should do google searches for these terms: > >fish microorganisms >fish parasites A more useful and relevant search would be sushi parasites Searching on fish is much too broad, and will yield much irrelevant noise.

However, if people want to eat any types of raw meat--that is up to them. I just wanted to warn those people that all types of raw meat (in some cases) can have microorganisms and parasites. Even if I was sure that none of those microorganisms and parasites could harm me, I still would not want to eat those microorganisms and parasites. Have you ever heard about an infection called trichinosis? It's an infection caused by larvae of parasites that live in the intestines of pigs and bears. There may be other types of larvae in various types of fish and animals that can cause infections. Jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >What would happen if you ate nothing but sushi all the time? IIRC, raw fish contains thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys the B vitamin thiamine, so it's conceivable that you could get a thiamine deficiency from eating nothing but sushi, since white rice has had most of its B vitamins removed by refining. However, it would probably be better than eating nothing but hamburgers and fries all the time. |
