Doctor: Omega-3 fatty acids have unintended harm.

Original title: Doctors: Omega-3 fatty acids have unintended harms
Researchers at the University of East Anglia found that regular use of omega-3 (Omega-3)
fat
acids needed by the body over a period of about four years increased the risk of prostate cancer, although not by much. The findings were published
the
British Journal of Cancer.
experts have overturned previously the idea that omega-3 fatty acids could prevent other types of cancer.
experts analyzed 47 cases of tumor development risk and 86 patients with cardiovascular disease to reach this conclusion.
Dr Hooper Li, of the University of East Anglia's Norwich School of Medicine, explained: "Our research shows that continuous use of omega-3 fatty acids for several years can slightly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. But at the same time, it slightly increases the risk of several types of cancer. The main source of omega-3 fatty acids is fish fat, so the consequences of eating fatty fish are not yet known. Fat fish are rich in protein and trace elements, including selenium, iodine, calcium and vitamin D. This is much richer than the source of common omega-3 fatty acids. "
