A
high intake of fatty acids found in fish is associated with a 14%
reduction in the risk of breast cancer in later life, finds a study
published on bmj.com. The
results show that each 0.1 g per day or 0.1% energy per day increment of
intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) derived from fish
was associated with a 5% reduction in risk. To achieve this risk
reduction, intake of oily fish such as salmon, tuna or sardines should
be 1-2 portions per person per week.
