Fish oil supplements offer 'little or no benefit' against cancer

Taking omega-3 supplements offers"little to no" benefit against cancer, say experts.

These are purported to include lowering the risk of strokes, as well as diseases such as cancer and dementia. The research relates specifically to supplements, rather than omega-3 derived from eating fish, with experts still suggesting the latter is good for the heart, as well as general health. Researchers found that if 1000 people took supplements for approximately four years, the actual effects on their health, both positively or negatively, would be minimal at best.ALA - which the body can't make for itself but is found in vegetable oils, brussels sprouts, nuts and seeds and is good source for those on vegan diets

My friend took them for years after hearing they were good for the heart and heart attack prevention. He still had a heart attack aged 44. Lucky he served as we have a great NHS

Funny that. When I stop taking my omega-3 supplements my old bones start aching something rotton. But realistically, were participants given enough?

What a stupid study. One does't take fish oil for no other reasons that to prevent cancer. Do I have to explain this further? I despair that ppl are so dumb.

Since when would you take them for cancer,it's never been a claim from reputable sellers. It contains Omega 3 .

Nobody thinks that. They’re for arthritis and joints. ?

I thought they were supposed to be good for your heart, arteries and brain. Also cholesterol. I don’t take them anyway as I prefer to eat nutritious food.

This study is laughable. No real control on the quantity or quality of the omega-3s being measured. Likely something being pushed by big pharma to try and sell more pharma.

So I’ve been smoking 20 of these a day for nothing?

Como la estúpida idea de consumir cartílago de tiburón por el colágeno o la ridiculez del shampoo con queratina.

I don't think anyone thought that they did...

Maybe because those that use them use them for arthritis and not cancer 🤔

Sounds a bit fishy

I thought it was a joints thing not cancer?

No kidding....

VERY IMPORTANT TO THE HEALTH OF FISH.

joke's on them i've been taking them to become a fish
