Fish Oil Causing Cancer

Everything we think we know seems to be wrong… or that’s how it looks sometimes…   everywhere I look I find evidence to the contrary of accepted opinion, so called ‘fact’.

Now it is fish oil with its ‘omega 3 acids’, supposedly so beneficial, especially to pregnant women and their children.

Now an Adelaide study shows no benefit whatsoever.

But the most interesting thing is perhaps the last four paras:

It follows the release of a US study, published this month, in which scientists unexpectedly found a negative effect of fish oil.

One fatty acid – docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – was found to promote cancer growth in mice that were prone to bowel diseases.

“We hypothesised that feeding fish oil enriched with DHA to mice would decrease the cancer risk. We actually found the opposite,” said Dr Jenifer Fenton, from Michigan State University.

“Our findings support a growing body of literature implicating harmful effects of high doses of fish oil consumption in relation to certain diseases.”

I will repeat that:

“One fatty acid – docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – was found to promote cancer growth in mice that were prone to bowel diseases.”

Again and again accepted scientific ‘wisdom’ turns out to be diametrically wrong.

And yet scientists – particularly those ‘climate scientists’ – constantly rail against us (the general public) for not immediately believing everything they say……

The mind boggles…..
