Flax Seed Oil Actually Increases Prostate Cancer While Fish Oil 
Decreases It 
  
A recent study of about 47,000 men has found the ALA omega-3 fatty 
acids stimulate the growth of prostate tumors in men. Of the men 
monitored over 14 years, some 3,000 struggled with prostate cancer 
and about one in seven were suffering from the advanced stages of the 
disease.

Researchers found men who were suffering from advanced prostate 
cancer had higher quantities of ALA from non-animal as well as meat 
and dairy sources.

Scientists also found EPA and DHA could reduce the risk of total and 
advanced prostate cancer too. How does EPA and DHA work to prevent 
prostate cancer? Researchers offered these possibilities:

modification of membrane phospholipid composition 
alteration of cell signaling and receptor activity 
lipid peroxidation 
cyclooxygenase inhibition 
cytokine production 
interference with androgen activity

Was the flax oil in the study administered along with a sulfurated protein
(like low fat cottage cheese or quark)) to make it water-soluble and, in
turn, available to the body? Of course not. Even Dr. Budwig, the discoverer
of the wonderful attributes of the flax oil/sulfurated protein synergy
stated that flax oil alone will do more harm than good. Perfectly worthless
study that does a tremendous disservice to the uses of flax oil when used
properly.

not addressed the efficacy of FO/CC in his writings.
