Thanks RB, agreed not thorough enough. in the IHT it was a short blurb. well I would consider Fox news a source of sensational news so not sure it should taken to heart unless another study confirms it. I'm continuing to take it since I now have a blocked artery due to radiation so need it for the heart.
What do you think of the NIH study that suggests the same in the conclusion but seems pretty small unless I read it incorrectly.
Also could they have been taking an omega 3 and 6???
I mean everything has a risk to certain people but then benefits others. What we need to know is, does it benefit more people? or hurt more people?
Keep us posted, as I know you will, if you find anything else out. A member of our cancer group works on papers for the French equivilant of ASCO, so I'll ask her about it since it's the French who did the study. If I find out any more, I'll post also.
Too often what's good for you one day becomes deadly the next and then it's the reverse, hard to keep up!
thanks
sarah
