I just received a book on "kitchen cures" dealing with how certain foods
aid in curing diseases. Sushi was praised for it’s Omega-3, but it warned
against sushi and sashimi for diabetics. I can see some concern about the
high GI of rice, but sashimi does not have any rice. Does anyone know
why the author wrote this warning?

Raw fish carries the possibility of parasites.
Pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems (diabetics)
are warned against eating it.
But after living in Tokyo for a year, I won’t give up my sashimi that
easily ; )
I choose to ignore that warning.

Parasites aren’t only one reason, the others are contamination from
pesticides, heavy metals, fish spoils very quickly and certain types of
bacteria that people with compromised immune disorders should avoid.
