Fish oil linked to lower breast cancer risk
Many Americans already take fish oil to keep their hearts healthy and to treat all kinds of ailments. Now, a new study suggests that the supplements may also help women lower their risk of breast cancer.
Postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 76 who took fish oil were 32 percent less likely to develop certain types of breast cancer than women who didn’t, according to the study. In the past, a number of studies similar to this one have found an apparent link between supplements and reduced cancer risk.
