Fishing May
Reduce Your Risk of Prostate Cancer by 43% |
Well that
kind of true… what I should have said was fish not fishing but I
could not resist the fishing comment as I think it will grab more
attention and perhaps help a few more men avoid the life stealing
disease. Here re the real fact witch are quite astonishing.
Men who eat just one serving of salmon per week reduce their risk of
developing prostate cancer by 43 percent, compared to men who do not
consume fish, according to new research published in the online
edition of the International Journal of Cancer. Researchers from the
Karolinska Institute in Stockholm examined the dietary habits of
nearly 1,500 men with prostate cancer and more than 1,100 men
without the disease. They found that men who ate fatty fish rich in
omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, at least once a week reduced
their risk of prostate cancer by 43 percent, whereas men who did not
eat fish of any kind experienced no risk reduction. The
researchers—led by Maria Hedelin—also believe that a certain gene
may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer, as
well as how fish oils benefit the body. A specific Cox-2 gene that
is present in 60 percent of the population can influence the
effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acid consumption, the researchers
reported.
Men who carry the gene have a 72 percent reduced risk of prostate
cancer compared to those who do not carry it, but eating fish high
in omega-3 fatty acids can still benefit men who do not carry the
gene, according to the researchers.
“Frequent consumption of fatty fish and marine fatty acids appears
to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, and this association is
modified by genetic variation in the Cox-2 gene,” Hedelin said.
“This study shows that there is an interaction between dietary
factors and our genes, but it’s always hard to say what role the
genes play. Omega-3 fatty acids can still be good for men who don’t
carry this gene variant in completely different ways.”
According to natural health advocate Mike Adams, author of “How to
Prevent and Reverse Prostate Cancer,” the omega-3 fatty acids found
in fatty fish and fish oils are “truly miraculous anticancer
medicines” that can act as anti-inflammatories, help prevent
cardiovascular disease and lower the risk of developing many types
of cancer. “Omega-3 fatty acids not only reduce the risk of prostate
cancer, they also dramatically lower the risks of breast cancer,
heart disease, depression and mood disorders, along with other
common health problems,” Adams said.
