True, salmon is a great source of omega-3 fats, which are potent anti-inflammatory compounds. HOWEVER, farm-raised salmon also contains high levels of a highly inflammatory compound called arachidonic acid. In fact, the inflammatory effects of the arachidonic acid in farm-raised salmon more than cancels out the health benefits of the omega-3 fats it contains. When choosing salmon for your health, be sure to choose wild-caught salmon. One serving of wild-caught sockeye salmon, for example, has an IF Rating of +518, while the same size serving of Atlantic farm-raised salmon has an IF Rating of -181! Red snapper, by the way, rates +125, not quite as anti-inflammatory as the wild-caught salmon, but a whole lot healthier than the farm-raised
