Nutritional Hazards of Fish The argument that fish is a low-fat food is correct but misses the point of the vegetarian objections to meat on nutritional grounds. There is more wrong with meat than just fat. Excessive protein, and lack of fiber, are equally great problems. Fish is low in fat, and that's good; but it is excessively high in protein, and has zero fiber--and that's bad. It's worth reviewing some of the evidence about high-protein diets. First of all, high-protein diets are overwhelmingly linked to osteoporosis and loss of calcium from the bones. Not only does calcium excretion increase as protein consumption increases, thus resulting in negative calcium balance; calcium excretion also increases as the kind of protein shifts from vegetable to animal protein. Eskimos, for example, take in 2500 milligrams of calcium each day in the form of fish bones, and suffer from rampant osteoporosis--worse than Americans suffer from. This is a consequence of their fish-centered high-protein diet. Also read thro http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=11234
