One reason why not many people eat sushi .. I think eating it occasionally may be ok but regularly a definite no.

*Diphyllobothrium latum, the broad fish tapeworm.
This is the largest (up to 18 m = 60 feet!) tapeworm found in humans. It requires three hosts in order to complete its life cycle:
a microscopic freshwater crustacean, Cyclops
a fish (that eats Cyclops)
a human (that eats raw or undercooked fish, e.g., sushi)
A single worm may discharge up to one million fertilized eggs into its host’s feces each day.

Historically, human infection has been most common in countries along the Baltic Coast and in the Great Lakes region. But the growing popularity of sushi and sashimi made of raw Pacific salmon has caused infections by the fish tapeworm to become more common throughout the U.S.* Tapeworms

hey you’re right i found another article on the web which says:

'‘From a safety standpoint, the facts on sushi aren’t as positive. Whenever you eat raw fish or seafood you are taking a health risk. Raw fish and other seafood harbors all sorts of disease creating organisms such as parasites, parasite eggs and other microorganisms. Freezing the fish will kill the parasitic worms, but not their eggs or the other microorganisms. Hepatitis, worms and intestinal disorders may result from eating improperly handled, undercooked or raw seafood.’’ Link to the whole article ]

:-) thanks for that article CA. Judging by some of the guppies replies, it seems even though they are very likely to suffer from a worm infestation in their guts, they still seem to relish eating sushi.. hehe. Perhaps they dont realise that eating any type of raw meat is unatural for humans.
