Omega-3s may prevent spread of prostate cancerPosted Mar 23rd 2006 3:05PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: British Isles, Science, FishScientists are exploring the possible uses of
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, in preventing the spread of prostate cancer, according to study published in
the British Journal of Cancer earlier this
month. A recent Reuters
article cited the study's chief researcher, Dr. Mick Brown, saying that while Omega-3s seemed to stop the spread of
prostate cancer in its early stages, Omega-6 fatty acids, found in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, "increased the
spread of tumor cells into bone marrow." Omega-6s are still widely thought to have many health benefits and Brown
stressed that it is possible to strike a "healthy balance" of the two healthful fats. Another cancer
researcher told BBC News that larger studies are required
before the benefits of Omega-3s can be proven.
