GASTRIC CANCER RISK AND ERYTHROCYTE COMPOSITION OF DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID – (08-04-08)

Just in case you think I’m making all this “cancer diet” stuff up, here’s another study strongly linking the highly unsaturated fat (most notably the DHA omega-3 fatty acid) levels in red blood cells to gastric cancer.
