Deep-sea fish oil can soften blood vessels, so many people will deliberately buy health products containing fish oil.

However, the latest research found that excessive supplementation of deep-sea fish oil containing omega -3 in men will increase the risk of prostate cancer. Experiments have confirmed that men with higher levels of omega -3 (a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are common in deep-sea fish and some plants and are very beneficial to human health) have an increased risk of prostate cancer of 765,438+0%. The study also found that supplementing fish oil health products rich in omega -3 is more dangerous than diet.

Experts said that although the data of this study reflects such a risk trend, the occurrence of prostate cancer, like other tumors, is not just a cause, but the result of the interaction of many factors such as age, heredity, environment, race and diet. At present, the incidence of male prostate cancer should not be underestimated.

According to the cancer monitoring report issued by the health department, the incidence of prostate cancer in Shanghai has increased by more than 10 times in 20 years, and now it has exceeded two ten thousandths, ranking the fifth among male malignant tumors in the city.

According to the latest statistics, there are 47,000 new cases of prostate cancer and 23,000 deaths in China every year. One of the important reasons is that the fat protein content in the diet is too high. Eating more fish oil in this diet will undoubtedly increase the daily calorie intake, especially in the past, when the health benefits of deep-sea fish oil were widely publicized, only large doses could produce it. It is speculated that a large amount of fish oil may increase calories and increase the risk of cancer.
