Fish oil supplements increase prostate cancer risk, says study.. Fishy study?
Men who take fish oil supplements or eat fatty fish may be more likely to contract prostate cancer, an international study has found.
The research reported a 71 per cent increased risk of prostate cancer among men who consume omega-3s, fatty acids regularly extolled for their health benefits.
Lead author Alan Kristal, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle, said the study reinforced that nutritional supplements may be harmful.
Scientists cannot explain the connection, but findings indicate omega-3s are involved in the formation of tumours.
