Based on the fact you are a member for two years but only started posting on the date above,after the 5 post rule was introduced, and also stopped posting at 5 posts,you can understand my post?
Anyway please feel free to prove me wrong , and welcome
The silence is somewhat deafening! So, given it's an important subject let's revisit and get some facts out.
First, read the article. You'll find NO reference to fish oil in it, it refers to omega-6 fatty acids and the use of statins to help prevent the spread of prostate cancer to the bone marrow. This is considerably more difficult to treat.
It's important that people DON'T make up their own mind based on something that ISN'T in the report or confuse omega-3 with omega-6 especially since it's a complex area to start with.
Essentially, omega-3 comes from oily fish such as anchovy, herring, salmon etc. while omega-6 comes from the likes of vegetable oils, seeds and nuts. Both have a part to play in diet but it's the ratio of one to the other that is both important and difficult to achieve.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids
More recently studies have suggested links between prostate cancer and omega-3 but the indications are that this is down to taking supplements rather than relying on diet.
Fish oil supplements linked to prostate cancer
It's an important area so it's important it's right.

Lads, and ladies...
Reading this thread with interest as I am involved in an event in raising awareness and money for Prostate Cancer UK.
We are organising and participating in a charity football match at Colchester United's ground on Bank Holiday Monday May 5th
It is the third year we have run this charity football match and this year is going to be our biggest game yet.
We have TV stars from TOWIE, The Apprentice and First Dates playing in the game. Dan Osborne from TOWIE, and Neil Clough from the Apprentice. Also on the day we have Apprentice winner Stella English providing commentary.
We also have a live band playing before the game, the Red Bull promo girls, and a fund-raising raffle with some great prizes.
We are hoping for a crowd of up to 2500 for this and are looking for as many people as possible to buy a ticket to the game.
Tickets can be purchased online and 100% of the money raised (minus the paypal fee) will go straight to Prostate Cancer UK and the North Essex urology cancer support group
If any of you are in the Colchester area on May 5th and fancy coming along we would love seeing you there. Even if you cant go but would like to support the event please just donate £5 by purchasing a ticket.
The event is being Promoted by Prostate Cancer UK on their twitter and facebook pages
More info can be found in the local paper report
Lastly, and most importantly, you can buy tickets here online
Thanks very much for your time and your support
