"To examine the hypothesis that fish consumption reduces the risk of lung cancer, a Japanese team conducted a population-based prospective study following 5,885 residents for 14 years. A total of 51 incident lung cancer cases were observed, and they found a clear decreasing relative risk for lung cancer with increased frequency of consumption of fish and shellfish, but not with intake of dried/salted fish. Decreased relative risk was seen with broiling and boiling cooking methods, but reduction with raw and deep-fried fish consumption was not statistically significant." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"In another study, two groups of men were compared for fish consumption. Those in the first group all had prostate cancer. The second group was cancer-free. No one in the cancer group reported any fish consumption, but in the cancer-free group, fourteen ate fish—a remarkable finding.34 Vitamin D was most likely the mechanism that protected the fish eaters. But before we praise fish, note that oily fish consumption correlated positively with another cancer—breast cancer. Those who ate such fish had about 13% more breast cancer than those who did not eat it." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"The best guidance is to follow FDA guidelines as well as state and local advisories for safe fish consumption. In conclusion, long-chain n-3 fatty acids have been shown to have significant cardioprotective benefits in observational studies and secondary prevention trials. This research supports current dietary recommendations for two fish meals per week, preferably fatty fish.

"If you look at other countries, you can predict the prevalence of depression in the population just by knowing the average annual fish consumption. In Germany, the average person eats just 20 pounds of fish per year and they have a very high rate of depression there. In Japan, fish is a staple of the diet, the average person eats about 150 pounds of it per year and they have an incredibly low rate of depression. The US is about in the middle between those two extremes. "We already know that fish oil is quite effective for treating manic depression or bipolar disorder and schizophrenia." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Another stronger bit of information supporting the broader benefits of omega-3 fatty acid consumption comes from the Western Electric Study, which looked at the relation between fish consumption and coronary heart deaths among 1,822 men followed for thirty years.307 This study looked at heart failure, rather than sudden death, and found that participants with the highest fish consumption were the least likely to suffer coronary heart failure." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"The two main contributing factors seem to be a diet high in fish and the common use of silver-mercury amalgams for dental work. fish consumption alone may be enough to cause mercury toxicity. An article by the Canadian Medical Association in 1976 reported that Indians in Northern Canada, who ate more than a pound of fish per day, had symptoms of mercury poisoning. A 1985 study in West Germany of 136 people who regularly consumed fish from the Elbe River found a correlation between the blood levels of both mercury and pesticides and the amount of fish eaten." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"In fact, forty-one of the women who suffered a fatal heart attack recalled eating fish less than once per month and twenty-five more than once a month; the remaining 400 fatalities were spread out between these extremes of fish consumption. By inspection, the raw data looks pretty unpromising if your belief is that eating fish is good for you." - Nortin M.

"The scientists concluded that frequent fresh fish consumption, regardless of cooking method, may reduce the risk of lung cancer. Pancreatic Cancer When researchers tested the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on malignant cells, they found all of the PUFAs tested had an inhibitory effect. EPA, found in fish and formed from alpha-linolenic acid in flax, was the most effective. (Refer to page 87, Pancreatic Cancer, for more details on this study." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The findings have been questioned because it is not clear how carefully subjects adhered to advice regarding increased fish consumption. In this trial, serum EPA levels were only measured in a small subset (n ?39) of the subjects at 6 months into the study [78]. The benefits of fish oil supplementation have been questioned in patients with implanted cardioverter/defibrillators (ICDs). Three fish-oil supplementation trials have been conducted in this population with mixed results." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"There have been a number of epidemiologic population studies to determine the influence of fish consumption on cancer risk and mortality. Unfortunately, the results have been mixed and contradictory. These results are in stark contrast to the consistently favorable results of laboratory experiments on cell/tissue specimens and animal species. There are some very logical reasons why the population studies have not provided clearly applicable outcomes. Japanese people consume significant amounts of long chain omega-3s derived from fish." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Lipid-lowering medication was found to decrease beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and increase pathogenic arachidonic acid after only three months of use, leading the authors to conclude that these medications should be combined with diets low in arachidonic acid and high in omega-3 fatty acid.82 fish consumption not only improves laboratory values but also decreases evidence of cardiovascular disease at the blood vessel level in terms of stenosis and other markers of atherosclerosis in postmenopausal women who consumed two or more servings of fish per week.83 Fiber." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Before attempting to make it through the train, each mouse is first exposed to a dose of mercury that's analogous to what many of us carry in our bodies right now from a combination of mercury amalgam dental fillings, fish consumption, and the amount of mercury we absorb from other foods, water, and the atmosphere around us. When a mouse possessing a high genetic susceptibility to autoimmunity gets exposed to a low dose of mercury, it develops the autoimmune disease lupus quite quickly. We might visualize this mouse as falling ill before it even gets through the very first boxcar of the train." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"But fish consumption poses a set of dangers all its own. Filled with toxins such as PCBs and mercury, fish are a known hazard—so much so that pregnant women are advised to eat them sparingly. And the development of fish farming, made necessary by the steady depletion of the Earth's oceans, poses some new dangers. Fish farming is so unhealthy that its products must be treated with antibiotics, and many health authorities advise against eating farm-grown fish." - Caldwell B.

"Subsri-tuting fish oils from a reliable manufacturer for fish consumption is a good way to keep omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. Prior to pregnancy, a minimum daily intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fish and fish oils, is about 650 mg of each. Wild salmon ranges from 1.0 to 1.5 grams per three-ounce serving, with a little more DHA rhan EPA. The different species of salmon (sock-eye, chinook, coho) range in EPA and DHA, and wild sockeye contains approximately 600 mg DHA and 430 mg EPA per three-ounce serving." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Investigators concluded that fish consumption is associated with protection against the later promotional stages of colorectal cancer progression, but not with the early initiation stages. Japanese researchers conducted a large case-reference study with 928 cases of colon cancer, 622 of rectal cancer, and 46,886 cancer-free outpatient controls aged 40 to 79 years. The data showed frequent raw/cooked fish intake to be associated with decreased risk for male colon cancer, especially for males over age 60, smokers, and frequent meat-eaters." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The difference is that we more clearly define what are healthy vegetable oils that should be included in the diet, and we believe that regular fish consumption should be a part of a healthful diet. The four key principles of our diet program are to avoid high-calorie, low-nutrient foods such as junk foods, candy, and soft drinks; eat a "rainbow" of fruits and vegetables; reduce the intake of meat and animal products; and eat the right types of fats." - Michael T. Murray, Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care (Get the book.)

"Stoll, noting that in Japan and other countries where fish consumption is high, both depression and heart disease rates are low. Biotechnology pioneer Barry Sears, Ph.D., author of the bestselling Zone books, also extols fish oil as "the best drug to elevate mood. If you're eating a lot of simple carbohydrates, you're probably not eating much fish. Americans consume only about five percent the amount of fish they did at the turn of the century." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"This study looked at heart failure, rather than sudden death, and found that participants with the highest fish consumption were the least likely to suffer coronary heart failure. Analysis of the effects of consuming large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in persons with high triglyceride levels demonstrates that the fish oils can significantly lower these levels, as well as significantly improve blood flow (by reducing blood viscosity) and raising HDL levels." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"THE JURY IS STILL OUT At least one expert thinks this study does not make a conclusive case that DHA—or any other omega-3 fatty acid, for that matter—is the reason that fish consumption appears to slow a decline in thinking ability. Greg M. Cole, associate director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, says that although Morris's study "also finds reduced cognitive decline associated with increased fish intake, it doesn't find much evidence to relate this to greater omega-3 fatty acid intake." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "In addition, fish consumption has been associated with a lower risk of dementia and stroke. Some recent studies have discovered that one omega-3 fatty acid in particular, docosahexae-noic acid (DHA), is important for memory in older animals. o Morris believes that increased levels of DHA may be responsible for the slower decline in thinking ability. In a previous study, Morris found that DHA reduced the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. "DHA is very important for the communication between neurons and the overall functioning of neurons," she explains." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Cancer Causes Control 8: 175-83, 1997; Cancer Research 59: 4320-24, 1999] While red meat is a risk factor for colon cancer, fish consumption appears to protect against colon cancer. [Journal National Cancer Institute 97: 906-16, 2005] Calcium For a number of years now the public has been advised that calcium from dairy products reduces the risk for colon cancer. But is it the calcium? Careful dissection of studies now reveals that it may be the vitamin D in dairy products, and not the calcium, that prevents colon cancer." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"When one group of researchers compared dietary intakes to cancer rates occurring ten years after the consumption of food, and also eliminated from consideration the effect of fat from fish consumption, they found a high degtee of correlation between consumption of animal fat (other than from fish) and the risk of bteast cancer death fates for women at least 50 years of age." - Alan R.

"Even if fish consumption were shown to prevent heart attacks (for which there is no proof), would it be justified and wise to propagate it as being a healthy food when it is known to cause other chronic or fatal diseases? Eating food that saves one person but kills another is much like gambling with one's life. You can never really know whether you will win or lose. As always, the final judge is you, the consumer. If in doubt, I suggest that you use Kinesiology muscle testing to determine whether fish is or is not conducive to your health and well-being." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
