Lower Breast Risk Linked to Fish Oil
Large U.S. study links fish oil supplements to one-third lower risk of a breast cancer diagnosis; No reduction was seen with soy or herbal supplements
by Craig Weatherby
Though much remains to be discovered, we know a lot about omega-3s and cancer already … virtually all of it good, and urgently needing exploration and confirmation.
Several large population studies – and a few small clinical trials – published over the past several years found links between diets rich in omega-3s from fish oil and a reduced risk of various cancers.
And, significantly, cell studies provide highly plausible biological explanations for these encouraging statistical associations.
(For links to some of our past coverage, see the “Recent research on omega-3s” sidebar, below.)
Until now, there’s never been a substantial study that looked for possible links between the most promising supplements and a woman’s risk of breast cancer.

Recent research on omega-3s and breast health
The past decade has seen growing research into the potential effects of omega-3s on breast cancer risks.
These are some of the highlights of our coverage … to see all of our reports, search our news archive for “breast”:

So the results of a very large epidemiological study from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center are making headlines worldwide.
In short, the study showed that women who took fish oil regularly were 32 percent less likely to develop breast cancer over a six-year period (Brasky TM et al. 2010).
Significantly, the researchers found no associations between breast cancer rates and any other supplements that have been proposed as possible anti-cancer aids … including soy.
Fish oil shines in unprecedented epidemiological study
The Seattle team surveyed 35,016 postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 76, who were taking part in the Hutchinson Center’s Vitamins and Lifestyle (VITAL) study.
The goal was to compare the women’s breast health over the six year ...

Glazed Salmon with Dijon Mustard Sauce
Today’s simple, quick, delicious recipe comes from superior food blogger and personal cooking instructor Helen Rennie of Natick, Massachusetts.
Helen's lifelong love for cooking led her to leave a computer science career and take an internship at the famed Casablanca Restaurant in Harvard Square, and then become a full-time personal cooking instructor at her own kitchen in Natick, Massachusetts.
Her blog “Beyond Salmon” has everything you ever wanted to know about fish and other musings on all things culinary.
Concerning this fast, easy recipe, Helen writes that it “… was born one weekday night when I needed a 10 minute dinner. It was surprisingly good.” We agree!

Canola, Continued: What are the Alternatives?
While you can do worse, we called canola an lesser choice for folks who, like most Americans, consume far too many omega-6 fats; A reader asked about alternatives
by Craig Weatherby
Last week, we published a reader’s response to our article about omega-6 fat and weight gain, in which we downplayed the desirability of canola oil.
That opinion reflects the fast-growing medical consensus that, compared with humans' historical diets, Americans now consume far too many omega-6 fats and too few omega-3 fats.
This extreme fat-intake imbalance yields increasingly well-documented impacts on risk of cancer, depression, diabetes, and the many chronic diseases that are promoted and/or aggravated by inflammation. (See “Americans Need More Omega-3s and Less Omega-6s” and search our news archive for “omega-6”.)
Our disregard for canola as a daily kitchen choice comes despite its relatively high omega-3 content and relatively low omega-6 content, compared to most common cooking oils.
As alert reader Joanna B. notes below, our response failed to list recommended low-omega-6 alternatives to canola, or give a full explanation of why we prefer them.
Joanna wrote to ask for that important information. Here’s our exchange, including her very kind reply to our answer:
Joanna B.’s letter
Dear Vital Choice,
Thanks for revisiting the controversy regarding canola oil. However, I'm not clear on what is a good substitute to use.
You mention both hi-oleic sunflower oil and macadamia nut oil as having a lower percentage of omega 6 fats. I thought ...

Antioxidant Nutrients May Help Cardio Health
Clinical trial shows improvements to artery elasticity and blood cholesterol profiles in people with cardiovascular risk factors
by Craig Weatherby
Antioxidant nutrients like vitamins C and E, selenium, and beta-carotene have long been touted as aids to cardiovascular health.
They’ve been tested in recent clinical trials, and scrutinized by scientists who analyzed existing epidemiological and clinical evidence.
But the results have been mixed, both in terms of decreases in cardiovascular risk factors and actual reductions in heart attacks and sudden cardiac death.
As researchers from Boston University School of Medicine wrote in a recent evidence review, “Antioxidant supplementation has not been generally associated with better cardiovascular outcome[s] …” (Chakrabarti S, Freedman JE 2010)
Now, the results of a small clinical trial in people with multiple cardiovascular risk factors add to the positive side of ...
