New research links omega-6 fatty acids, commonly found in seed oils, and colon cancer growth. But there’s more to the story—and study if you read it carefully.
A Mediterranean diet - with added olive oil - can reduce the risk of breast cancer in women by two-thirds, a study has suggested. The diet, which involves a combination of food groups from ...
The evening primrose flower (O. biennis) produces an oil containing a high content of γ-linolenic acid, a type of omega−6 fatty acid.Omega−6 fatty acids (also referred to as ω−6 fatty acids or n−6 fatty acids) are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that share a final carbon-carbon double bond in the n−6 position, that is, the sixth bond, counting from the methyl end.

Another 2014 review found that adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a decreased risk of death from cancer. [27] A 2017 review found a decreased rate of cancer, although evidence was weak. [28] An updated review in 2021 found that the Mediterranean diet is associated with a 13% lower risk of cancer mortality in the general ...
Doctors are hoping the “olive oil drug” 2-OHOA can treat a deadly and incurable brain cancer, since the results of an early trial show promise for glioblastoma patients. ardanz – stock.adobe ...
The relative risk (RR) or risk ratio is the ratio of the probability of an outcome in an exposed group to the probability of an outcome in an unexposed group. Together with risk difference and odds ratio , relative risk measures the association between the exposure and the outcome.
Cancer slope factors (CSF) are used to estimate the risk of cancer associated with exposure to a carcinogenic or potentially carcinogenic substance. A slope factor is an upper bound, approximating a 95% confidence limit , on the increased cancer risk from a lifetime exposure to an agent by ingestion or inhalation .
