Fish Oil Linked to Lower Breast Cancer Risk
Millions of Americans already take fish oil to keep their hearts healthy and to treat ailments ranging from arthritis to depression. Now, a new study suggests that the supplements may also help women lower their risk of breast cancer.
Postmenopausal women 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 study found.
The researchers looked at 14 other popular supplements, but only fish oil — which contains concentrated amounts of the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, tuna, and other fish — had any connection to breast cancer risk.
The unsaturated fatty acids in the oil are believed to curb inflammation, which plays a role in some cancers as well as heart disease. Fish oil supplements, which have been shown to lower blood pressure and triglycerides (a type of blood fat), are most commonly taken to improve heart health.
