Omega-3 fatty acids slash colorectal cancer risk in men by 66%

What you need to know - Conventional View

• Some research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids prevent omega-6 arachidonic acids from promoting cancer in the body.

• Fatty acids make compounds called prostaglandins, which either become omega-3s or omega-6s. The omega-3 fatty acids suppress the inflammation of cancer, whereas omega-6 acids promote them.

• The study found that men with the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood had the lowest risk of colorectal cancer. The study looked at 178 men with colorectal cancer and 282 cancer-free controls.

• Omega-3 fatty acids also have been associated with protecting the heart and improving cognitive function.
