To Fish or Not to Fish

A recent study on the relationship of  EPA DHA  fish oils to increased Prostate Cancer risk has raised alarm and created confusion.

I am reprinting here a statement by my esteemed colleague Dr. Robert Rountree, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Thorne Research which helps us to clearly understand how to interpret the results that have been sensationalized and distorted. Dr. Rountree concludes, …it would be premature to stop eating fish or to discontinue taking omega-3 nutritional supplements on the basis of this study. The first line of the study actually states “Studies of dietary Omega 3 fatty acid intake and prostate cancer risk are inconsistent.” The bottom line here is that this study shows NO CAUSE AND EFFECT relationship.                                                                                                                                               For more information see:  http://www.integrativecanceranswers.com/do-fish-oils-really-cause-prostate-cancer/
