What an interesting development. First, fish oil was discovered to help prevent heart disease. Then studies revealed its benefits for mental illnesses like manic depression. And now it may help to prevent breast cancer, and possibly other cancers. I find this encouraging!
This is very interesting article. I am not over weight or fit the other criteria mentioned in the article. I have taken fish oil for years, but very recently had breast cancer and removal without any history in the family. Do not place any confidence in this article.
It sounds like good news however every other day they change it.. like the study that just came out that glucosamine isn't any better for joint pain than a placebo, or coffee -good one day or bad the next. A month or so ago they were saying how multi-vitamins don't offer any protection against cancer. A month from now they'll be saying this study is full of fish...
yes fish oil my play a part in curbing breast cancer but what about the BP oil they are swimming in and feeding from. what kind of carcinogens are now part of their make up that you are asking us to ingest. sure i'll save a breast but my child will be born with a 3rd eye!!!!!!
you all sure give them a hard time , fish oil is good to keep fat out of your blood and good for your eye site, what a few dollars on something that will help you ? i lowered my fat in my blood to perfect using and taking fish oil, so you figure out of you need to take it or not...
i recommend fish oil it has helped to with the amount of fat that gets in my blood, its a brain food as well , it even helps rehumatoid arthritis , don't be so quick to judge something less you try it..my friend takes it and his blood is perfect , with no fat , and the man weights three hundred and fifty pounds, truely fish oil does help in a lot of ways, i am sure a believer , my blood work now comes back perfect and in the past i have had high corlestrol ....
See what Environmental Working Group has to say about fish oil supplements. Not all of them are created equal. Many contain PCBs. That's seriously bad for your health, especially for a woman of childbearing age. PCBs cause cancer and birth defects.
I struck up a conversation with a Pharmacist one evening and during our conversation I told her I wanted something to help my memory and eyesight and over all health. She immediately told me to take these Fish Oil Capsules (Omega 3 Fatty Acid).
I've since started taking them and am happy I am doing so. With all the bad food I eat now and again like McDonalds, Culver's, etc. I am glad to feel a little better knowing I'm taking something that is possibly helping reduce my cholesterol.
Don't get me wrong I distrust the Big Pharm Companies just as much as some of you but fish oil to me isn't a big deal. It seems natural and safe kinda like bee pollen.
Do you really mean FISH oil, MSNBC, or is this about Omega-3s? I wish it was more clear. I'm a vegetarian and don't take fish oil but I do take flax seed oil capsules to get Omega-3s.
What a coincidence!! I just viewed a commercial on the new FDA approved Lovaza the new Omega 3 supplement "just talk to your dr for a prescription"! You will only have to shell out $30 a pill. Consumerism at it's finest!! No thanks I will continue to consume and support the health food industry supplements.
High Cholesterol problems are very common. This article offers a good start to learning how to lower the bad cholesterol in our bodies. I have suffered with high cholesterol in the past, but with a little regular exercise and a healthy balanced diet, you really can make a difference http://bit.ly/d454ZR
I really don't get these companies that always comes up with things that suppose to people. Now doctors says that there is no cure for cancer and yet we hear that it might be. "Fish Oil" now how about those you have been taking fish oil pills in the past and have been excerising or they not at risk of getting breast cancer..When are we as people are going to stop playing with people lives..
I agree with you henryjose09. This is true with the high cholesterol count, with a little of excerising and a balance diet this will lower your risk of high blood pressure and diabetes but what about cancer? Does this really help those who have breast cancer.. Will this fish oil pills really help those who have breast cancer. And is it just for breast cancer?
Vitamins are all hocus pocus!! The only vitamin I would eve take was prenatal. I said this before, I heard a very well known doctor say that vitamins will feed and help flourish cancer cells. Eat right and exercise and just pray for your good health every day that you are lucky enough to have it.
I am being treated for breast cancer and I can not keep up with all the information of the do's and don'ts you should be following. It is a full time job to read all these studies and it is information overload. I don't think anyone really knows what triggers it. I am trying to do everything in moderation and get on with my life as I once knew it!!!!
Do your homework before you run out and buy this, most fish oils found on the common market such as large chain stores can actually contain very dangerous chemical compounds and very little Omega 3. Cut open one of the capsules and smell it, they should smell a little like the ocean however if it smells rancid or like foul fish throw them in the trash and buy a better brand.
I am male and don't live in San Francisco, so salmon oil won't prevent breast cancer for me. But I do think it has health benefits. This article caught my attention because I am eating dinner with salmon oil. I stir a few capsules in rice. The capsules dissolve and gives the rice a fishy salmon taste which I like.
I dont think i want to rub fish oil on my wifes breast!!!
Fish oil may also allow you to walk on water and/or breath underwater. try it.

HA! Big deal. We're eating our ocean life to extinction and nobody seems to care.
