Interesting recent study. O.o;; The study’s 12 authors explain they could not discern if the risk of prostate cancer was derived from eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon or herring), or from fish oil supplements. While the study’s methods suggest there is a statistical association between an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and fish oil consumption, the authors note these findings do not demonstrate fish oil consumption causes prostate cancer. The authors explain the latter needs to be assessed in future studies. However, the study’s lead author, Howard Brasky Ph.D., told Time the results suggest men with a family history of prostate cancer should discuss whether it is safe for them to take fish oil supplements or regularly eat salmon, herring and other oily fish.
