    This proves nothing.

    They only have found correlation between omega 3 and prostate cancer. It does NOT mean that omega 3 CAUSES prostate cancer. There is dozens other factors that this study did not take into account.

    The bottom line is, take your omega 3 in recommended doses and don't go overboard with it. Anything can be dangerous if taken in excess.

    In fairness, I don't think there's much conclusive evidence that Omega 3 is actually beneficial in the first place.

    You mean apart from being an essential nutrient?

    From a supplementation perspective I meant.

    You mean apart from all the double blind controlled studies that indicate it is beneficial? As opposed to an observational study which can't really prove anything

    Ray Peat has been saying for a long time that PUFAs cause untold damage to the body. I tend to believe him.

    I'll stick with coconut oil supplementation rather than omega 3. Apparently coconut oil helps flush PUFAs out of your system over time.

    How do use coconut oil? Can you fry with it? Is it good for dressing? I don't fancy the idea of just taking a spoonful.

    Ray Peat says a lot of things. Does he have any proof for this one?

    I use it as cooking oil and put it in smoothies.
