51.216 pg/g

What are the comparisons between Farmed and Wild Salmons?

Farmed Salmons:

More fats (white lines)
Higher fat content
Higher in toxins (in the fat)
Color-added to look like salmon
Doctors warn women + children should avoid it
Not good for whales

Wild:

Leaner
Cleaner
Naturally pink
Good for our oceans
Good for whales

What toxins are in found in farmed salmon?

Fact: These toxins accumulate in our bodies and mothers release up to 94% of these toxins through pregnancy and breastfeeding

“One should avoid farmed salmon like the plague” - David Carpenter, Author of Paper on Farmed Salmon Toxins in Science

Fat

A benign growth on the lining of mucous membrane of colon.

Which age group does polyps are likely found?

Advancing age

How many types of Colon Polyps are there?

4 Types of Colon Polyps: 1) Inflammatory - found in ppl with IBD such as Chron's or Colitis 2) Hyperplasia - abnormal cell growth, low cancer risk 3) Adenomas - most common form of polyps; potentially cancerous 4) Tubulovillous (villous) adenoma - highest risk of cancer

Estrogen Metabolic Pathways What estrogen metabolic pathway type is associated with lower risk and less extensive methylation of potentially genotoxic?

2-hydroxylation (C-2)

What does estrogen metabolic pathway catechols no. 4-hydroxylation is associated with?

Higher risk of postmenopausal breast cancer

When your liver converts estrogen along the 2-hydroxy (C-2) pathway, does the risk of cancer decrease or increase?

Decrease

What two items can promote 2-hydroxy (C-2) pathway - healthier pathway - for estrogen metabolism?

When you liver converts to which pathways, that it will be associated with higher risk of cancer?

4-hydroxy (C-4) pathway or 16-alpha-hydroxy (C-16) pathway

What does aromatase converts?
