Omega 3 news ~ not great news either

Well that explains that. My husband has been taking high omega 3s for morel than 15 years due to his high lipid levels.

I added another link. Not sure why that one gives me grief. I use Safari.

That article is in contrast to what I have read since my journey began with PCa-

I immediately doubt articles that speak in generalities and do not mention specifics - such as daily consumption of omega-3 supplements, the actual "high amount of DHA" in their systems.... an excessive amount of anything can be hazardous...

I have continued with my dosage (1200 units) of omega-3 ( NO combos with omega-6's which feed cancer cells) since my surgery and my PSA numbers have gone down.

As we have seen stated here in HW - all persons are different and react to PCa, treatment and alternative sources to prevent or reduce re-occurance of PCa. This works for me - may not work for you.

did some more research - thought it would be better as a separate posting -
www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/omega-3-fats
-this article talks about the benefit of omega 3 - DHA (the fish route) , and the possible hazards of taking omega 3 - ALA (the nuts and berries route)

... the more we know - the better we can be - including being confused as heck.

NOTE: do keep in the mind the endless studies saying drinking wine is good - drinking wine is bad - beer is good - beer is bad ( is there such a study!?)... you get my drift...

helping hugs, (personal study)

Clock,
I side with your wife. As Mark Moyad says ~ "A heart healthy diet is a prostate healthy diet. And if it doesn't help with prostate cancer it helps with something that is more likely to kill you anyway".

I don't know why we put any stock in any study. Once a study comes out supporting one side another one comes out saying the opposite. The bottom line is that none of these studies ever offer absolute proof one way or the other. The only thing I know for sure is that I have cancer and nothing is going to make a definitive difference one way or the other about it......

thanks for the post Tony. I guess I am the silly I will just keep living large and not worry about all the studies. One day haha I may be sorry.

peace and love

Eat real fish, chicken, meat occasionally, vegetables and fruit- bread and pasta is ok too- nothing processed-drink lots of water- a few beers- the odd glass of red- no tobacco- tea rather than coffee except to start the day-that's it.

Walk or play lots of golf for exercise.

Jerry,
Even the "experts" don't know what's good and what's bad. I am very interested in what Scholz, Strum, Meyers, et al have to say about this one. Strum and Scholz both have the fish oil in their books as a proper supplement. So does Meyers in his book along with selenium and vitamin E. If this study holds the true definition of fish oil then Meyers missed on all three accounts after studies. In the Meyers book he discounts Omega 3's from veggies and praises fish oil with a special way to order it.

The Fred Hutchinson Center is a very highly respected research center for cancer. The doctors set out with this study to prove the efficacy of fish oil and were amazed to see it was the opposite of all the hype.

Back into the jungle as zufus would say...

Bump.
