How Oily Fish Could Help In The Fight Against Bowel Cancer
Researchers at St George’s Hospital in London have discovered that the Omega 3s found in oily fish could help prevent bowel cancer.
The participants had all suffered from polyps in the bowel, which can turn cancerous if not removed, so these people were prone to developing bowel cancer.
Our bodies are continuously renewing cells – they grow and die.
In a normal person, one cell dies and is replaced by another cell the same, but it’s been discovered that in a patient who has polyps, their cells are produced at a faster rate than they die. This results in too many cells and so a polyp is formed where cells grow on top of each other.
Deal of the day
