Badly Flawed Study of Fish Oils Leaps to Wildly Unsupported Conclusions about Cancer July 16, 2013
A new study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, led by Theodore Brasky, PhD, et al., has supposedly found a link between high concentrations of EPA, DPA, and DHA in the bloodstream - the three anti-inflammatory and metabolically related fatty acids derived from fatty fish and fish-oil supplements - and an increased risk of prostate cancer: a 44% increased risk of "low-grade" prostate cancer, and a 71% increased risk of "high grade" (that is, aggressive) cancer, according to their report.
Take a look at some of the problems with the study, both with the way the study was set up and with the conclusions reached by the researchers.
-
No data was kept on the men's dietary habits - neither among Brasky's primary cohort, nor among the men in the SELECT trial. We do not know how much fish they might have consumed, or the quality or source of the fish oil supplements they took, or what other dietary supplements they might have taken, or for how long. Perhaps the men with non-aggressive cancers took vitamins or other supplements; we just don't know. Some fish (and fish oil supplements) can contain environmental chemicals that can contribute to prostate cancer. In other words, we have no idea where the omega-3 in the men's systems came from - the study is silent on that issue, and that's a huge problem.
Despite the fact that the study showed no causal link between prostate cancer and fish oil supplementation or the presence of omega-3s in blood , the paper's senior author made the following blanket statement in a press release: "We've shown once again that use of nutritional supplements may be harmful." Have you ever heard such an absurd conclusion?
The pharmaceutical industry has developed their own omega-3 drugs, with more in the pipeline, some of which are in phase III of clinical trials. Since these drugs are only available by prescription, our concern is that studies like this will scare consumers away from supplementing sensibly and will drive people to use the Big Pharma version when prescribed by a doctor.
It is vital for natural health consumers who use supplements to do so wisely, in consultation with a qualified health expert. Understand what levels of each supplement is optimal for you and your condition. Use the most natural forms of any substance available: first, if you can, in food, and secondarily in natural, organic supplements. And always take them with the co-factors that make them safe and most able to be utilized by the body. As always, it's a matter of balance, education, and following the advice of an experienced healthcare practitioner.
