Here are three trials I do not recall having posted before. They suggest omega three has a protective effect in respect of BC risk.

Arguments and links for trying to balance the omega threes and sixes have been posted previously and should be available be entering a search term after clicking on search above.

Fish oil is high in EPA DHA etc. A trial showed uptake in women of DHA dropped off at about two grams a day.

Please do talk to your medical advisors about significant dietary changes. Fish oil is known to cause blood thinning etc.

ABSTRACT

"This prospective study did not support any increase in the risk of breast cancer associated with total or saturated fat intake, but it suggested the protective effects of the long-chain n-3 fatty acids that are abundant in fish."

ABSTRACT

"To our knowledge, these are the first prospective findings linking the intake of marine n-3 fatty acids to breast cancer protection."

ABSTRACT

"These results are consistent with the hypothesis that a higher (n-3)/(n-6) PUFA ratio may reduce the risk of breast cancer, especially in premenopausal women."
