Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice. "Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
An Oprah threat to your health and the health of your children? Have you been misled?
Women who take fish oil supplements may have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who don't, a study published Thursday suggests -- though whether the supplement itself bestows the benefit is not yet clear.
Then there is the dark side:
White's team also found that among a subgroup of women with a history of heart disease, fish oil use was actually related to an increased breast cancer risk versus non-use.
The finding, White said, is surprising and not readily explained. She added, though, that it was based on only a small number of women, and may represent a chance finding rather than a true effect of fish oil.
The current findings cannot hint at whether a fish-rich diet might help lower breast cancer risk. But, White and her colleagues note, two previous large studies did look at the relationship between women's reported omega-3 intake from food and their risk of breast cancer. Neither study uncovered any link.
It may pay to investigate something that might know:
Failed at dieting?
Failed at a fitness program?
Had bariatric surgery?
Were prescribed diet drugs?
Believed Consumer Reports diet ratings?
Unsuccessfully followed an Oprah diet expert?
