A research which was
released at the Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research
Conference, found that the omega oil, i.e. omega-3 fatty
acids that are mainly found in cold water fish like
salmon might be able to help to prevent colorectal cancer.
The scientist and doctors selected about 1509 Caucasoid
participants (787 controls and716 cancer cases) and
African-American participants about 369 (156 controls
and 213 cancer cases). An authenticated food questionnaire
was utilized in order to collect data on the amount
and frequency of foods usually taken by the study subjects
in the past one year.
Those who have taken more omega
-3 fatty acids in their diet had an extensively reduced
risk of big bowel cancer. Actually, the maximum consumption
was linked to a nearly forty percent cancer risk. Regrettably,
the significantly reduced risk was only seen in white
research subjects and the doctors and scientists are
trying to find out what may account for the racial difference.
The experiment data has shown that the benefits of long-chain
of omega-3 fatty acids which helps to prevent colorectal
carcinogenesis, inhibition of metastasis and suppression
of angiogenesis, varying from reduced tumor growth.
Several other studies also have proven that consuming
omega oil could aid us to prevent several other diseases
such as cardiovascular disease
