10 researched ways to reduce your breast cancer risk

Fish oil capsules fight breast cancer risk

Add fish oil to your diet

Researchers from the University of Guelph in Canada confirmed that omega-3s from fish oil are an effective way to fight the chronic inflammation that fuels breast cancer. The study included mice who were prone to an aggressive type of breast cancer called HER-2, which affects 25 percent of women. Mice that were exposed to omega-3s from fish (versus plant sources) fared far better in the fight against breast cancer. They had 30 percent fewer tumors. And the tumors they did have were 60 to 70 percent smaller.

Based on these numbers, researchers say omega-3s from fish are eight times more effective at preventing breast tumor development and growth than omega-3s from plants.
