Omega 3 and Prostate cancer link?

Damn it all. I just had a plate of smoked salmon and a bottle of champagne.

@Xileh,

I doubt the bottle of champagne has any omega 3's in it so your prostate is safe from that, however, subjecting your liver to the onslaught of a whole bottle's worth of alcohol... well, that's another thing!
Good Vibes to You !

Since I shared it, my prostate is happy.

I looked at the various articles, there seems to be an indication that high Omega 3 may contribute to prostate cancer, but the studies acknowledge that they did not separate the source of the Omega 3, that is their research did not look at the respective diets. It also acknowledged that most of their victims (read volunteers) were not taking additional Omega 3 supplements. They also suggested an Omega 3 levels be assessed in blood tests. So, I am happy to not use Walnut oil, and may reduce my supplements a bit as where we live there are no naturally grown fatty fish to eat.
I am wary of these studies after the appalling mess of one about HRT that did not separate obese and existing heart condition from the average and 100s of thousand women stopped the support and had a hell of a time until the flaws in the findings were made known and the statistics corrected.
However thank you for the information.

I actually heard this discussed for the first time in Radio National news and in depth in the "PM" programme, (both in Australia), just yesterday.
I have just Googled it and it appears that this was first mooted in 2011, so it's been around for a while.

I somehow doubt that we need to panic. As with all things to do with diet, I'm sure that moderation is the key.

The problem seems to be that, as with so many things, the gullible will assume that if something is said to be good for you, then more of it must be better!

The press likes to pick up on possible scare stories, often basing their reporting only on the press release without doing any analysis of the published paper themselves. They usually only print the "bad news" and move on, and hardly ever give column inches to the retractions or revisions.

I'm equally sceptical about stories which say "X is good for you" as I am with stories which say "X is bad for you".

i have very little faith in diet based health claims, even the most entrenched.

as an example, i read an article recently that shows strong evidence for throwing out the idea that free-radicals are harmful. all that "anti-oxidants" business might fall by the wayside.

i read another article that challenged the entire paleo diet concept, because we in fact might evolve faster than was presumed. there goes the basis for the omega 3 fad.

anything that zaneblue claims about diet, i am afraid to say, i would take with a huge grain of salt.

remember: the placebo effect is one of the most powerful in medicine.

about a single study relating omega 3 and prostate cancer: take that with 1/'20 of a grain of salt.

there is one piece of diet advice that seems to make sense: eat a varied diet, and eat low on the food chain.

Any new updates on this?

I was reading some of the older threads as a means to try to understand what's wrong with my Aneros sessions, and came across some of ZaneBlue's posts about Omega 3. ZaneBlue's website seems to no longer work.

I took a capsule of Omega 3+6+9 (one capsule contains all that) and had Helix Syn inside me as usual. Same usual arousal levels. Same lube levels etc.
Went to bed.
Tried to sleep, ended up using PC muscles a bit.

Then felt weird and different, like as if the Helix was rubbing on something that was bumpy and causing it to bounce or go over something with texture.
And then things started feeling weird. Need to pee feeling but not the feeling you get when your bladder is full. And kinda itchy or something.
I hesitate to describe it as pre-orgasmic. I think I need more "data" 🙂

So I wonder if Omega 3+6+9 is something that I need to take more of, but I am a bit concerned about this post and how it might have a possible prostate cancer risk.

The tablets I have do not mention Walnut oil nor almond oil as per @rumel's post.

It just states:
Flaxseed Oil (Linseed Oil) 800mg
Sesame Oil 75mg
Rice Bran Oil 75mg
Evening Primrose Oil 20mg
Sunflower seed oil 20mg
Soya Lecithin 10mg
Rosemary Oil 1mg

Each capsule typically provides:
Omega 3: 300mg
Omega 6: 151mg
Omega 9: 133mg

Says take up to 3 tablets a day.

I usually take just one tablet a day (in the morning before work), but given the recent possible discovery with aneros use, I intend to up it to 2 tablets a day and then maybe go 3 tablets a day eventually. With the additional tablets an hour or so before an aneros session.

So... I am safe to eat this without getting cancer?
