Thank you for your thoughts. Can you aware me on how the study was flawed from the start aside from the fact that the 'type' of omega 3 were not considered?
Because the two groups that they used were not properly controlled.
In order to do a proper study of this, you need to have two equal groups from equal sample demographics in equal numbers.
All subjects need to be tested for prostate cancer cells prior to the test, and all subjects need to have roughly the same lifestyle (ie: exercise vs no exercise, eating other things, taking other meds, etc.)
The easiest way to conduct the test is to find all males of the same age group who all do NOT have prostate cancer cells and all lead a lifestyle without proper diet or exercise.
1,000 subjects in each group for a total of 2,000 subjects - administer a placebo to 1,000 subjects and administer 2g of omega 3 from micro-distilled and pure sources each day to the other 1,000 subjects.
All subjects would have to be forbidden from taking fish oil on their own.
Monitor subjects for 20+ years and observe for prostate cancer cells in all members of the group
Record findings.
