sorry this is not true at all but rather a old wives tale.. there have been a few articles done proving the fat type and levels found in fresh water fish are actualy bad for marine fish and to much of it can cause serious helth problems. it is not just goldfish but all fresh water fish.
think about the explanation you just gave, so a fish in the wild dies because it doesent get a break from eating food from salt water. creatures are designed to live in the biotope they are found, only humans and a few other species can adapt readidly to different biotopes with no harmfull effects in short spans of time.
