          Omega-3 and 6 Linked to Lower Cancer Risk

          Higher levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are linked with a lower risk of several types of cancer, including brain, colon, stomach, and lung cancer, according to a study of over 250,000 participants. The findings highlight the potential of these "healthy fats" in cancer prevention, regardless of BMI or lifestyle. The study also suggests that omega-6 benefits are particularly effective for younger adults, especially women. Results open the door to dietary adjustments that may aid in reducing cancer risk.

          Omega-6 Fatty Acid Linked to Lower Bipolar Disorder Risk

          Researchers discovered a link between higher levels of arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid found in foods like eggs and seafood, and a reduced risk of bipolar disorder. Utilizing Mendelian randomization, the study identified 33 metabolites associated with bipolar disorder, suggesting that lipid levels play a significant role in its etiology.

          Omega Fatty Acids Improve Vision in Preterm Babies

          A novel study reveals that preterm babies given a supplement of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids show significantly better visual function by age two and a half. Conducted between 2016 and 2019, the study involved 178 extremely preterm babies, born before the 28th week of pregnancy.

          Omega-3 fats do not protect against cancer

          Studies reveal there is no demonstrable value in people taking omega 3 oil supplements for the prevention or treatment of cancer. Findings reveal there may be a slightly increased risk of men developing prostate cancer following long-term omega 3 consumption.

          Don’t overdo omega-6 fat consumption during pregnancy

          Consuming too much omega 6 during pregnancy has been linked to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental issues in babies and pregnancy complications. In mice who had higher levels of linoleic acid in their diets, researchers noted altered concentrations of inflammatory proteins and a decrease in hormones that regulate fetal growth and development. Researchers stress the effects of a high linoleic acid concentration in diet are the same for both animal models and humans.
