Default More on Omega 3 and Prostate Cancer.

While most people say good things about Omega 3 after reading more on it
i dont think it should be used as a free food even if your meter says its
ok.

its not just about Prostate Cancer if you are interested in reading what the
Prostate Cancer Foundation
has to say here is the link.

Using blood samples collected during one study, researchers found that men
with the highest levels of the omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid)
in their bloodstreams were three times as likely to develop prostate cancer
compared with those in whom the fatty acid could not be detected. Similarly,
another study found that men who consumed the highest amounts of ALA were
nearly twice as likely to develop advanced prostate cancer. In both of these
studies, as in the typical American diet, the primary source of ALA was
animal and dairy products, particularly red meat.

At the same time, however, consumption of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA
(eicosapentaenoic acid), two omega-3 fatty acids found mostly in fatty fish,
was associated with a lower risk of developing advanced prostate cancer. In
fact, eating the equivalent of 3 servings of fish per week cut the risk of
developing advanced prostate cancer in half.

tests you should be doing.
