The researchers say the combination could be a potentially dangerous food source for some patients with heart disease, arthritis, asthma and other allergic and auto-immune diseases that are particularly vulnerable to an "exaggerated inflammatory response."<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/331388817" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/popular-fish-tilapia-contains-potentially-dangerous-fatty-acid#comments Top stories 3 fatty acids auto immune diseases beneficial omega omega 3 fatty acids omega 6 fatty acids http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/5885 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:15:11 -0500 admin 5885 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/reducing-intake-dietary-fat-prevents-prostate-cancer-mice <p>Scientists have showed that lowering intake of the type of fat common in a Western diet helps prevent prostate cancer in mice, the first finding of its kind in a mouse model that closely mimics human cancer, researchers said. The study focused on fat from corn oil, which is made up primarily of omega-6 fatty acids, or the polyunsaturated fat commonly found in the Western diet.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/290880734" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/reducing-intake-dietary-fat-prevents-prostate-cancer-mice#comments Top stories cancer researchers corn oil human cancer omega 6 fatty acids western diet http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/4687 Fri, 16 May 2008 16:30:14 -0500 admin 4687 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
