Omega-3 Shows Significant Protection Against Certain Cancers

Omega-3 Shows Significant Protection Against Certain Cancers

Dear Reader,

This is huge.

Although we shouldn't be one bit surprised.

Time and again, in study after study, we've see the remarkable power of omega-3 fatty acids. Specifically we're talking about EPA and DHA — the long-chain omega-3s.

What do they do? What DON'T they do?

They keep your brain healthy and help prevent cognitive decline.

They reduce depression.

They reduce oxidative damage linked to air pollution exposure.

For those of you who have a prostate, consider it protected from inflammation and cancer by generous omega-3 intake.

And last year, here's how one researcher summed up omega-3 heart defence: "We now have tremendous and compelling evidence from very large studies, some dating back 20 and 30 years, that demonstrate the protective benefits of omega-3 fish oil in multiple aspects of preventive cardiology."

So...should we EVER be surprised when omega-3s are shown, once again, to be more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?

No. Never.

But still... this is huge.

All in the family

British and Italian researchers divided 55 subjects into two groups. For six months, about half received a daily supplement that contained two grams of EPA. The other half received placebo.

In the EPA group, the number of bowel polyps and the size of bowel polyps were significantly reduced. In the placebo group, the number and size of polyps increased.

That's impressive. But here's what's huge: Before the study, all subjects were diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). In other words, they were all genetically inclined to produce bowel polyps that frequently develop into cancer.

When a supplement protects healthy people from cancer, that's significant. But when a supplement protects people who are at high risk of a specific cancer... that's huge.

But wait — it gets even bigger...

The researchers of the study also note that the effectiveness of EPA was similar to COX-2 inhibitors, which also curb polyp growth. In fact, if you're diagnosed with FAP, your doctor will almost certainly prescribe a COX-2 inhibitor.

And the difference between the two treatments?

COX-2 inhibitors are prescription, non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that sharply increase risk of internal bleeding and heart attack when regularly used.

EPA, on the other hand... well, just go back a few paragraphs for that "protective benefits... in... preventive cardiology" quote.

Only one word for it: huge.

...and another thing

If you live in London, Detroit, Cairo, or Delhi, air pollution is an unavoidable factor in your overall health picture.

But if you live in Jackson Hole or Montpelier, or some other relatively pristine spot, believe it or not, air pollution is probably still a key health factor.

How can that be? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air can be as much as FIVE TIMES more polluted than outdoor air.

For example...

When researchers tested lung function and urine samples in more than 160 subjects over the age of 60 who were living at home, they linked impaired lung function with high urine levels of two volatile organic compounds (VOC): toluene and xylene.

VOCs are chemicals emitted as gasses. And many household products emit VOCs.

Toluene is a very common VOC used in fingernail polish, adhesives, paints, paint thinners, lacquers, and rubber.

Xylene is a toxic petroleum byproduct that's used in many air fresheners. That's right — air fresheners.

Xylene has also been associated with headaches and increased risk of cognitive impairment.

The solution? First, get rid of the air fresheners. They don't "freshen" anything. Second, get rid of household products that contain VOCs. And if you can't get rid of them, use them with great care (and a protective face mask).

To Your Good Health,
