Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Diet Could be Life or Death for Prostate Cancer Patients(San Francisco, Agence France-Presse, 6/22/07)In a study funded by the National Institutes of Health, Yong Q. Chen of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and team, fed a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids to a group of mice that had been genetically engineered to develop prostate cancer. The omega-3 mice developed fewer tumors and lived longer than those on other diets. The scientists speculate that consuming foods high in omega-3s, like fish and nuts, may benefit men who are genetically predisposed to prostate cancer.(Journal of Clinical Investigation, online edition) Quote
