Flax Seed Oil Actually Increases Prostate Cancer While Fish Oil Decreases It?

[Sin`cere]

A recent study of about 47,000 men has found the ALA omega-3 fatty acids stimulate the growth of prostate tumors in men. Of the men monitored over 14 years, some 3,000 struggled with prostate cancer and about one in seven were suffering from the advanced stages of the disease.

Researchers found men who were suffering from advanced prostate cancer had higher quantities of ALA from non-animal as well as meat and dairy sources.

Scientists also found EPA and DHA could reduce the risk of total and advanced prostate cancer too. How does EPA and DHA work to prevent prostate cancer? Researchers offered these possibilities:

* modification of membrane phospholipid composition
* alteration of cell signaling and receptor activity
* lipid peroxidation
* cyclooxygenase inhibition
* cytokine production
* interference with androgen activity

^May not be "credible"

^So look at MANY MANY MANY other studie's, that are.

I've also found a lot of other articles on google, seconding his notion of flax seed oil. I just bought SesaMAX, it has 500 mg of FlaxSeed Oil, but I did also purchase a Optium Fish-Oil 1000 MG fish oil, 120mg DHA, 180mg EPA. I'm not worried about getting prostate from flaxseed, cause I wont be taking more than 1000 mg a day of it (2 pills SesaMAX) + 3 fish oil a day, would most likely help cancel it out. but do any of you believe this is true? What are your opinions.

i actually considered staying up longer (way past my bed time, lol) to investigate this post. until i saw the above quoted.

also, its fairly pointless to bump threads this time of the day, as most everyone is sleeping (even taking into consideration forum members whom live outside the united states)

Well ok, if that's not a good, or credible source, than maybe, the other site's with all the same comparassion's/studie's are..
