After all we are not complete idiots: phase 2 trial on omega-3 / fish oil

[Maxone73]

With all the caveats, like it was on men with prostate cancer but under active surveillance, so no metastasis,...

but still...

A study investigated the impact of a high omega-3, low omega-6 diet with fish oil supplements on 100 men with early-stage prostate cancer who chose active surveillance. Over one year, the group following the diet showed a significant 15% decrease in the Ki-67 index, a marker of cancer cell growth, compared to a 24% increase in the control group.

This suggests the diet might slow cancer progression. While other tumor characteristics remained unchanged, the Ki-67 reduction is promising as it's linked to better prognosis. Larger trials are needed to confirm these findings and explore long-term benefits.

We"ve been told fish oil is bad for prostate cancer?

Does not seem so, even if of course you don't have to exceed with quantities. I am glad there have been actual clinical trials about this, but I would still not exaggerate with dosage. From a culinary point of view I am all in favor of white button mushrooms!
