SELECT Trial Results Examined: Why Fish Oil, DHA and “Oily Fish” Are Inflammatory, Leading to Increases in Prostate Cancer, Epithelial Cancers and CVD

چکیده
In July 2013, using data and plasma collected in the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT), results were shown consistent with prior results of the controversial 2011 Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial. Both trials exhibited unexpected associations: 1) Fish oil and fish oil’s DHA significantly increase prostate cancer in men; in particular, high grade prostate cancer; 2) Harmful trans fats did not exhibit their well-known significant and harmful effects; 3) Omega-6 series fatty acids LA (Parent omega-6) and long-chain metabolite AA were not shown to increase risk of prostate cancer as expected. These unexpected results mystified researchers. However, these clinical results confirm the prevailing medical science; they do not run counter to it. Pre-21st century studies mistook irrelevant associations for cause/effect relationships, disregarding known incontrovertible science. Utilizing established state-of-the-art physiology and biochemistry, these mistakes will be fully explained. When taken prophylactically in the amounts normally recommended, marine (fish) oils will be shown harmful to humans. Marine oil—and, in particular, its component DHA, with its highly reactive 5 bis-allylic bonds—will be shown to be highly inflammatory, therefore cancer-causing. These epidemiological studies are complemented by a variety of underpublicized physiological and biochemical findings showing that fish oil heightens premature lipid peroxidation and damages arterial endothelium in a way that increases the risk of all cancers. Most importantly, the cancer-causing effect of fish oil supplements, and all marine oils, will physiologically and biochemically be shown to possibly be significantly more harmful than trans fats.

The medical community suffered three significant fish oil failures/setbacks in 2013. Claims that fish oil's EPA/DHA would stop the progression of heart disease were crushed when The Risk and Prevention Study Collaborative Group (Italy) released a conclusive negative finding regarding fish oil for those patients with high risk factors but no previous myocardial infarction.

متن کاملRE: Plasma phospholipid fatty acids and prostate cancer risk in the SELECT trial.
Brasky et al. (1) report a correlation between the long-chain omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in plasma phospholipids and prostate cancer. The difference in DHA levels between cancer and noncancer groups, although statistically significant, was small and of uncertain biological significance. Intakes of fish and fish oil supplements were not analyzed. Accordingly, the authors’ conc...

Dietary intervention studies to assess the cardioprotective effects of oily fish are scarce in China. The present study aimed to examine the effects of the oily fish, Norwegian salmon, herring and local farmed pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) on CVD risk markers when included in the Chinese diet. In this 8-week, parallel-arm, randomised intervention study, 126 Chinese women with hypertriacylglycero...
متن کاملPolyunsaturated fatty acids, inflammatory processes and inflammatory bowel diseases.
With regard to inflammatory processes, the main fatty acids of interest are the n-6 PUFA arachidonic acid (AA), which is the precursor of inflammatory eicosanoids like prostaglandin E(2) and leukotriene B(4), and the n-3 PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are found in oily fish and fish oils. EPA and DHA inhibit AA metabolism to inflammatory eicosanoid...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of a nutritionally relevant intake of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) fatty acids derived from oily fish or a fish oil supplement on selected cardiovascular risk factors in average middle-aged individuals. METHODS Thirty-three participants were randomized to receive salmon (oily fish) providing 274 mg EPA + 671 mg DHA/day or a co...
