    Is there any truth to the link between omega 3 and prostate cancer? And as a supplement, is it better to take omega 3 on its own or an omega 3,6,9 capsule?

    You're better off getting it from fish. But to answer your initial question, there is no immediate risk to your prostate from taking a moderate level of Omega 3

    Flaxseeds, Walnuts! My office NOW!!!

    Er what is Chief Sardine?

    Ive had it up to here with your shennagins flaxseeds. Give me your badge and your gun. And Walnuts, youre 3 days from retirement, what are you doing going after the omega 6 gang? Just take your last few remaining omega 3's and take it easy til you can leave. Now get back out there and do some real police work the both of you.

    Well, Walnuts? what do we do now?

    Looks like we have no choice (hands his back up piece to flaxseeds) We got to to go after the omega 6es under the radar and hope Cheif Sardine has enough omega 3 for the both of our funerals.

    flaxseeds and walnuts are converted into omega 3 but that conversion is not always optimal and a very small percentage is converted - take a fish oil supp or eat fish

    I have started eating atlantic mackerel since not only is it high in omega 3 it is relatively very high in vitamin D too.

    This is why I never do word association 'games'.

    That reminded me of Atlantic 252...
