Fish Oil Does Not Cause Prostate Cancer
The “breaking news” this past month was the latest discovery
that fish oil causes prostate cancer.
Well, with much of the nutrition research we experience these days there’s
a lot more to the story. To make a long
story short, the people in the study were not supplementing with fish oil. See below for more details and rebuttal
articles.
I’m also pleased to announce the formation of an Ozaukee
County Chapter of the Weston Price Foundation coming this fall. I have joined with Laurie Meyer and Susan Wichman
to organize this chapter. If you are
interested in helping to organize events and be part of the chapter leadership
please let me know so I can invite you to our upcoming organizational meeting.
I have a favor to ask.
I’m working on building my following on Twitter and Facebook as it seems
to be important to be “credible” and also will support when I write my
book. I use these now to communicate my
own original articles plus link to other important articles that come my
way. Please follow me on Twitter (bjrosen
and TheDickDiet) and Like me on Facebook (Rosen Wellness). It is much appreciated.
One last organizational note – I am taking vacation in early
August and will be out of the office. If
you are in need of any supplies please let me know. We don’t like to have “emergencies” when I am
out of the office!
Another Misrepresentation of Nutritional Supplements
Despite what you read in the headlines there was no proof in
the study that fish oil caused prostate cancer.
As I said above the folks in the study were not even supplementing with
fish oil! The first thing you’ll want to
understand is that fish oil contains two key Omega 3 fatty acids DHA and
EPA. The study found that men with
prostate cancer also had higher levels of DHA, but there was no relationship
with EPA.
Of course the study also found
that men with the highest levels of trans-fats in their blood had the lowest
level of prostate cancer. This too is
different from any previous finding. One
could conclude that men should consume trans-fats then, but all the research
shows the link between trans-fats and cancer.
If you want to learn more about these studies here are two excellent
articles.

Use Safe Cosmetics
Despite being labeled as natural and organic and all other
great marketing phrases the bottom line is that many cosmetics are quite
harmful. Remember that your skin is an
organ of absorption and can be a vehicle for toxins to enter the body. I highly recommend the following article to
learn more about safe cosmetics. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/25-safer-alternatives-to-common-cosmetics/#axzz2aelLhRMO
