Fish oil lowers breast cancer risk: study

A new study from the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention suggests that fish oil supplements may help women lower their risk of breast cancer. 35,000 postmenopausal women, without breast cancer, and between the ages of 50 and 76, who took fish oil were 32 percent less likely to develop certain types of breast cancer than women who didn't. The observation period was over six years.

The new findings "reinforce something that most of us feel in our hearts but are struggling to prove," says Dr. David Pearlstone, M.D., chief of the division of breast surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center, in New Jersey. "Fish oil probably is really good for you in a lot of ways, but the data has been slow in coming."

Bonnie - slow in coming? Is he kidding? There is research that comes out every day on fish oil.
