Fish for Health

Was cruising my favorite websites today and came upon this study on Salmon and other fish that have high concentrations of OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS.

This study, involving 90-thousand women - finds eating one serving a week of these fish can help prevent kidney cancer. It's already known omega 3's are heart healthy.

That one serving a week reduced the risk of renal cancer by 74 per cent compared with those who never ate fatty fish. The group who ate fresh fish ( like cod )at least once a week but for whom follow-up information were unavailable, saw a 40 per cent reduction.

Pulling right from the study " One significant difference between oily and non-fatty fish lies in how much omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D they contain - substances that, according to earlier cell studies, seem to protect against cancer. Fatty fish contains more omega-3 fatty acids than non-oily fish, and 3 to 5 times as much vitamin D. As fatty fish, the study included salmon, raw herring, sardines and mackerel; as non-fatty, cod and tuna.

This study comes from the Swedish Karolinska Institutet.
