Swedish women who ate fatty fish like salmon, mackerel and herring at least once a week had a significantly lower risk of kidney cancer compared to consumers of lean fish, researchers said on Tuesday.
The 15-year study found those who regularly ate fish containing lots of fish oil that is rich in omega-3 acids and Vitamin D had a 74 percent lower risk of getting kidney cancer compared to those who ate no fish at all.
What surprised me the more than the announcement of another benefit of Omega-3 (a fatty acid found in oily fish) is the fact that the original article came from the predominantly drug and surgery dominated JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Associaion). As you know, JAMA is the bible of the doctors and it's been known that JAMA favors more conventional treatment and preventive measures. But recently, they began recomending supplements for all adults and now, fish. But since oily fish is rather expensive and rare locally (the most commonly available fish are lean fish like tilapia and bangus) might as well take an Omega-3 supplement instead. An omega-3 supplement, if it came from a reputable source, is also consideed safer than eating possibly mercury contaminated fish.
MarineOmega contains ultra-pure omega-3 fatty acids to promote wellness and longevity. It combines the highest grade fish oils with oil from krill harvested from the pristine waters of Antarctica. Krill oil is rich in EPA and DHA in a unique phospholipid form targeted for use in the brain and in cell membranes throughout the body.
