More evidence that fish oil can make quite a difference in quite a short time frame.

Inflamation down and COX 2 pecusor arachidonic acid down too - on my limited knowledge that could be good news for background BC prevention.

ABSTRACT


Fish Oil Supplementation Benefits Obese Pediatric Patients on Low GI Diets

Inflammation markers decreased in obese pediatric patients who supplemented their low glycemic index (GI) diets with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.

Researchers enrolled 30 overweight pediatric patients (10 to 18 years in age) in an intervention program that emphasized exercise and a low glycemic load diet supplemented with fish oil. After six weeks, the fish-oil group saw a 19 percent decrease in the C-reactive protein inflammatory marker while the ratio of arachidonic acid to eicosapentaenoic acid decreased 73 percent.
