Fish Oil Lowers Aggressive Prostate Cancer Risk by 63%

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 - Byron J. Richards, CCN

Researchers from the University of California San Francisco have demonstrated that fish oil can reduce the most serious form of prostate cancer by 63%.  The researchers also found that in men with a weakness in the inflammatory COX2 gene, 500 mg of omega 3 fatty acids per day could compensate for the genetic weakness and reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer in this group of at risk men by 500%.

A common theme of many cancer genes is that they are activated and re-enforced by out-of-control and chronic inflammation.  Such problems come from ongoing stress, subclinical infections (such as chronic digestive and/or sinus problems), being overweight, diets high in junk fat, too much alcohol, smoking, and chemical exposure from pollution and chemicals on food – combined with a lack of exercise and fitness.

Omega 3 fatty acids are the most lacking basic nutrient in the American diet and are part of the anti-inflammatory toolbox.  Such a simple remedy could save so much needless suffering, especially when a man makes a serious effort to correct any other inflammatory problems in the above list of common issues.
