Benefits of
Omega 3-6-9

Here
are some of the benefits of taking Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids. Several
studies report possible
anti-cancer effects of n−3 fatty
acids (like breast,
colon and prostate cancer). Omega-3 fatty acids
reduced prostate
tumor growth, slowed histopathological progression, and increased
survival. Among
n-3 fatty acids [omega-3],
neither long-chain nor short-chain forms were consistently
associated with
breast cancer risk. High levels
of docosahexaenoic acid, however, the most abundant n-3 PUFA
[omega-3] in erythrocyte membranes, were associated with a reduced
risk of breast cancer. A 2006
report in the Journal of the
American Medical Association concluded that their review of
literature
covering cohorts from
many countries with a wide variety of demographic concluded that
there was no link between n−3 fatty acids and cancer. This is
not similar to the
findings of a review by the British
Medical Journal of studies up to
February 2002 that failed to find clear effects of long and shorter
chain
n−3
fats on total mortality, combined cardiovascular events and cancer.
