Anti-inflammatory effects of omega 3 fatty acid in fish oil linked to lowering of prostaglandin
Omega 3 fatty acids in dietary fish oil are reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombogenic and anti-arrhythmic effects in humans, but the biochemical basis for these beneficial health effects is not well understood. view more (2006-04-04)
Does Omega 3 protect against ADHD?
A new study will provide further understanding about the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the brain function of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). view more (2006-12-06)
Do high dietary intakes of trans fats really promote cardiovascular disease?
From his assessment of the studies, Dr John Stanley says the conclusion that trans fatty acids promote cardiovascular disease is premature for the following reasons. First, although prospective cohort studies show an association with cardiovascular disease, trans fatty acids are estimated rather than measured. They may also be markers for some... view more...

Fatty fish protects against cancer
If you want to avoid cancer of the kidneys, a new major study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that eating salmon or other kinds of fatty fish a few times a month would be one good way to go about it. view more (2006-09-20)
ESC Congress 2004: Fishy stuff or a real cure? - Contrary to popular belief, a Danish study now suggests that consumption of fish does not prevent atrial fibrillation
Danish scientists from the University Hospital in Aarhus have carried out a study that questions the effect of consuming n-3 fatty acids from fish on the prevention of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregularity of the heart rhythm that - if left untreated - may lead to stroke and death. Atrial fibrillation is most often treated... view more... (2004-08-31)
Columbia research shows novel benefits of fatty acids in arteries
New research from Columbia University Medical Center continues to shed light on the benefits of making fish a staple of any diet. view more (2009-02-06)
Food labels should list all fats to help cut heart disease, say experts
Food labels should list trans fats as well as cholesterol and saturated fat to help reduce coronary heart disease, say researchers from the University of Oxford in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-07-28)
Adding fatty acids to formula milk may cut heart disease in later life
Adding long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to infant formula milk is associated with lower blood pressure later in childhood, and may cut the risk of heart disease in adult life, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In a 1992 trial, 111 newborn infants were fed with a formula containing long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) and 126... view more... (2003-04-30)
The 'see food' diet
Current research suggests that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent one of the leading causes of legal blindness among the elderly. view more (2009-07-23)
Omega fatty acid balance can alter immunity and gene expression
For the past century, changes in the Western diet have altered the consumption of omega-6 fatty acids (w6, found in meat and vegetable oils) compared with omega-3 fatty acids (w3, found in flax and fish oil). view more (2009-06-01)
Healthier Salmon Means Healthier Cardiac Patients
A study carried out by the Heart and Lung Centre at Ullevaal Hospital in Oslo has demonstrated that domesticated salmon fed with fish oil containing a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids is better for cardiac patients than salmon fed with vegetable oil (rapeseed oil). view more (2004-09-01)
Omega-3 fatty acids may slow down early Alzheimer's in some cases
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements may slow cognitive decline in some patients with very mild Alzheimer's disease, according to new findings from Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Sweden. view more (2006-10-11)
Eating fish cuts risk of dementia
Elderly people who eat fish or seafood at least once a week are at lower risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Using data from a large ageing study, a team of French researchers set out to test whether there was a relation between consumption of fish (rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids) or... view more...

FATTY FISH CONSUMPTION COULD REDUCE PROSTATE CANCER RISK
Consumption of fatty fish such as salmon, herring, and mackerel could reduce the risk of prostate cancer, report the authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Essential fatty acids - especially omega-3 fatty acids contained in large amounts in fatty fish - have previously proved to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer... view more... (2001-05-31)
UCLA study shows altering fatty acid levels in diet may reduce prostate cancer growth rate
UCLA researchers found that altering the fatty acid ratio found in the typical Western diet to include more omega-3 fatty acids and decrease the amount of omega-6 fatty acids may reduce prostate cancer tumor growth rates and PSA levels. view more (2006-08-01)
Eating fatty fish and marine omega-3 fatty acids may reduce risk of heart failure
Eating fatty fish and marine omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish oil, seems to protect men from heart failure according to one of the largest studies to investigate the association. view more (2009-04-22)
Edible coating makes fish filets longer-lasting, healthier
Consumers may be able to eat longer-lasting, potentially healthier fish fillets if research at Oregon State University makes its way to the supermarket. view more (2009-07-17)
Trans-fatty acids and insulin sensitivity
Trans-fatty acids have been the topic of a lot of negative health news, but in the July Journal of Lipid research, a dietary study in rats suggests that trans-fats do not increase the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes, which may ease at least one area of concern. view more (2008-07-09)
DIETARY TRANS FATTY ACID INTAKE LINKED TO CORONARY HEART DISEASE (pp 732, 747)
A high intake of trans fatty acids contributes to the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), conclude authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Trans fatty acids are mainly present in solid fats produced by part hydrogenation of oils, and are naturally found in products originating from ruminant animals. Current trans fatty acid... view more... (2001-03-07)
Omega-6 fats cause prostate tumors to grow twice as fast
Omega-6 fatty acids-such as those found in corn oil-caused human prostate tumors in cell culture to grow twice as quickly as tumors to which omega-6 fats had not been added, according to a study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. view more (2006-02-01)
