In a recent study published by the American Association for Cancer Research, more than 35,000 women aged 50-76 participated in a questionnaire which asked about their uses of vitamins and supplements in their day-to-day nutrition.

After 6 years, 880 of these women had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The study found, however, that women who took Omega 3 supplements regularly had a 32% less tendency to be diagnosed with breast cancer, than those who didn’t take Omega 3 supplements on a regular basis.  While this is not a clinical study, and therefore can’t be used to conclusively prove a link between Omega 3 and breast cancer, the numbers are extremely suggestive and fascinating.
