Several studies have linked a reduced risk of breast cancer to fish oils, but new research suggests that the oils may especially benefit women with particular genetic makeups.Researchers in this latest study found that women with certain common DNA patterns experienced more breast cancer protection from omega-3 fatty acids than women with other common patterns. Women whose bodies do a poor job of getting rid of the fish oils’ byproducts are the ones who benefit most from consuming the oils, according to the study carried out by scientists at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) and the National University of Singapore.
