New study links fish oil supplements to cancer

The National Cancer Institute and researchers at Ohio State University have found that subjects with high levels of omega-3 supplements from fish oil had a 43% higher chance of developing prostate cancer than those with the lowest levels of this type of fatty acid.

Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in non-marine life, such as in flaxseed and walnuts.  There doesn't appear to be any risk of cancer from consuming these products.
