I only ever eat Cucumber rolls, as I'm a vegetarian....but I've always been curious if sushi is bad for you?

I've heard conflicting stories from people....some say it's very low in calories so it's good for you, and others say it's high in bad carbs, so it isn't good to eat.

Which is it? Any response would be appreciated.

only bad things ive heard is sometimes you can get sick from it.you have to eat it kinda fast and make sure it doesnt sit out long.it can have high bacteria counts.its not recommended for pregnant people and other high risk people cos of the chance of getting sick from bacteria.

My friend told me about this the other day! I was devastated because sushi is pretty much my favourite takeaway food, apart from vegetable curry. I hope it's not true. But meh. It probably wouldn't stop me. I sometimes have sushi three or four times a week and it's never made me sick.

honestly i wouldnt worry about calories in sushi. what i would worry about is bacteria and sometimes there can be gastrointestinal parasites (worms) in the fish if it isnt fresh (disgusting i know). just make sure its fresh and have been kept at a proper temperature.

on a scale of being bad for you, from 1-10, 10 being not good... sushi is 3. i eat a couple of rolls every now and then. i fucking love the stuff!!!

i don't understand why people talk about this type of food being bad when everyone i know eats canned chili and nasty greatValue potato chips and say that "we eat a lot, were healthy unlike you"

sushi cant be THAT bad compared to half that nasty shit can it!?

i make my own veggie sushi, and it's AWESOME.
it's rice, vegetables and those nori leaves.

...though, i know what you mean, i'd never eat RAW fish ones in a restaurant.

I buy sushi for M&S. Love it. It's not bad as in pizza bad so whatever.

Well, sushi has a lot of white rice in it, which is not that great. Other than that it pretty good for you.

i love sushi. salmon, tuna, yellow tail, shrimp, eel... i'll eat anything!!! me and my BF go to this GREAT sushi place right down the street from us. we've eaten almost every fish there. sooo damn good.

and i love rolls. especially the fried ones. give me anything with eel, salmon, and avocado. and bamboo roll b/c the outside of it has these huge chunks of avocado, and they're cut/shaped like bamboo.

when the fish is presented on that huge chunk of rice, i just eat the fish. i put all of that extra rice to the side.

but i will eat the rice that's in a roll.

As far as I know because i´ve had many japanese friends sushi is the rice thing and the raw fish without rice is called sashimi.

i love sushi..............its gotta be good for you

when living in LA i used to have sushi all the time. just don't go to dirty looking restaurants.

I had it so many times and it never ever made me or any of my friends sick. and it's pretty healthy

there's nothing wrong with white rice, that's a myth. sushi is healthy

the only unhealthy aspect is if you put a lot of soy sauce on it, as thatis high in salt
