Omega 3 contained in this food seem to have an anti-inflammatory effect can reduce the risk of metastasis
The fish at the table makes prostate cancer less dangerous, although it does not reduce the risk of getting sick. This is what they say, on the pages of'' American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , Canadian researchers led by Konrad M. Szymanski after evaluating 31 studies that analyzed the link between fish consumption and prostate cancer, one of the most common cancer among men in Western countries.
that eating fish has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular diseases is not new, but before this work data on prostate cancer were not clear. Now it is known that both fish in the diet almost halves (minus 44 percent) the risk of developing metastases by 63 percent and reduces the risk of dying from the disease.
The reason? The hypothesis is supported by the authors that the anticancer properties of fish are related anti-inflammatory effect of omega 3 fatty acids it contains. Still uncertain, however, the amount needed to be able to count on such protection: "What we can say with certainty is that eating a lot of fish does well in the case of prostate cancer, but we can not give precise indications on the number of servings consumed each day," says Szymanski.
