Study links omega-3 to cancer risk

IT’S supposed to be good for you but research on the use of omega-3 oils has found they could be more harm than good.

An increased risk of prostate cancer has been associated with high levels of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids in the blood. High levels of trans-fatty acids actually lowered the risk, the study also found.

The research published in the American Journal of Epidemiology examined data from a US study of 3,400 men.
