omega 3 prostate cancer risk, or took fish oil supplements had a 71% higherrisk for high-grade prostate cancer than those who didn't. (via walb) researchers analyzed levels of omega-3 fattyacids — which is found in fish and fish oil pills — in the blood of 834 men whohad prostate cancer. they then compared the
results with blood from 1,393 cancer-freemen. (via journal of the national cancer institute) men who had the highest level of omega-3shad a 43% increase in risk for prostate cancer and a 71% increase for the most dangeroustype of prostate cancer that is the most likely to be fatal. (via koaa) scientists aren't sure why omega-3 fatty acidsappear to be linked to prostate cancer, but they think they are somehow involved in theformation of tumors. some people are skeptical about the study'sfindings. the council for responsible nutrition called the study quote, "overblown" becauseit only shows an association between omega-3 levels and cancer — not a concrete causeand effect. (via fox news)
still, researchers are standing by the results,noting it's unclear what the true benefits are for most of the supplements that peopletake.
