Interesting article. I clicked on a link in the article and it describes the effects of eating escolar, the tuna substitute. http://www.thekitchn.com/use-caution-when-eating-escola-66602 (http://www.thekitchn.com/use-caution-when-eating-escola-66602)

"Escolar is also called the "olestra fish" and the "ex-lax fish."    :o  ;D

Thats one reason I stay away from eating white flesh tuna at sushi restaurants as I have no idea what I may end up eating.
Some of them are really mushy and taste horrible.
