Low Omega 3 <img src="http://www.world-of-smilies.com/wos_engel/wos_engell4.gif" alt="Good vs Evil 2" /> plus high Omega six = higher risk of BC




Abstract

"However, among subjects who consumed low levels of marine n-3 fatty acids (lowest quartile of intake), a statistically significant increase in risk was observed in individuals belonging to the highest vs the lowest quartile of n-6 fatty acid consumption (RR=1.87, 95% CI=1.06-3.27); the corresponding RR for advanced breast cancer was 2.45 (95% CI=1.20-4.97, P for trend=0.01). To our knowledge, these are the first prospective findings linking the intake of marine n-3 fatty acids to breast cancer protection."
