I only found it recently. It is fascinating for those who are interested.
Thank you Professor White for an excellent and fascinating lecture.

It is more technical but it does emphasise the power and importance of omega three and particularly the products of omega six. You don't need to understand it all just to understand how important they are in the body. Don't worry to much about the terminology they are just all omega six chemical products.
It is understandable.
n3 = omega three
n6 = omega six
Eicosanoids = omega three or six chemicals.
Arachidonic acid = child of omega six (long chain omega six equivalent to EPA)
It also gives an inkling as to how wondrous it all is and why it is necessary to give the body the raw material it needs as substitutes wont work the same way.
Note the slide at the end where for the pathway under consideration DHA is a more effective cox blocker than many drugs.
Other pathways in the same family connect into blood vessel growth and oestrogen levels, and hence the relevance to BC, and why it is now beginning to be suggested that Cox blockers may reduce the BC risk.
It is complicated.
So the message is as ever to reduce the risk profile of a number of conditions including BC balance your omega threes and sixes within reasonable limits and ensure a supply of long chain omega threes.
Please discuss dietary change with your medical advisor.
