Tilapia is a highly popular white fish, loved for being light, inexpensive and easy to prepare. Because of this, the fish has become a leading type of seafood in grocery stores and fish markets around the world, Your Nation News reports.

Due to increased demand, tilapia are now mostly farm-bred in unnatural circumstances.

Rather than feeding the fish their natural foods like algae and lake plants, they are fed soy and corn. Because of the foods the fish are fed to help them grow, humans can ingest antibiotics from the fish, Newsiosity reports.

Nutritionists also point out that farm-raised fish have much fewer nutrients than fish caught in the wild.

You may want to think twice before eating tilapia again.
