Omega-3s in fish tied to better colon cancer outcomes

A new study conducted at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has shown that colon cancer patients who consume higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, primarily from fish oil, have better rates of survival.  According the study team led by Dr. Andrew Chan, "patients who consumed at least 0.3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids from oily fish per day...were 41% less likely to die from colon cancer then those who consumed less than 0.1 grams per day."
