A Canadian study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry in February of 2013 proved that omega 3 fatty acids inhibit the growth of breast cancer tumors by 30% and also reduced their size. Previous data about the effectiveness of omega 3 fatty acids showed an association, but this study proved that it is a fact!
This was a transgenic study on mice where genes for developing breast cancer were given to one group of mice and both the gene for developing breast cancer and of making omega 3 fatty acids were given to a second group. The latter group had 30% less breast cancer and also tumors that were 30% smaller. This interesting data shows that omega 3 fatty acids given for the duration of life might be a good idea to prevent breast cancer in humans.
Once you have breast cancer you need to know the best strategies to slow down or reverse its growth. In Dr. Saputo's Breast Cancer Health Assessment we will ask you about the type of breast cancer you have, what treatment you've considered or completed, whether or not you're interested in CAM approaches to treatment, and important lifestyle factors that could have an impact on how your cancer will affect you. You will immediately be emailed back audios and videos Dr. Saputo believes will guide you to information that can help you manage your cancer and support the body's immune defenses.
