Not IBD related, but thought I would share this article about fish oil causing increased risk of prostate cancer.

Not to denounce your (assumed to be well meaning) intentions, but as a person always concerned about accurate and unbiased reporting, suspicious of any "news" being reported, I feel there needs to be some more info available for a person to attain perspective, especially when the statement in question defies logic.
As a person who's made a life of being totally aware of what I put in my body, I can't put any faith in an article telling me not to eat omega 3's. Having said that, the best sources are still found in a variety of foods. Certain fish obviously being the best, but also flax, chia and to an extent, hemp seeds. Keep in mind the point of origin of the fish, as these days anything from fish farms to uncapped Nuclear Reactors in Japan may be causes of future cancer.
