- In this clip, Dr. Bill Harris and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss a questionable, potentially spurious association between omega-3 and selenium supplementation and prostate cancer. While omega-3 is more well-known for generally promoting cancer protection, the 2008 SELECT trial seemed to show something alarming: an association between vitamin E, omega-3, and selenium supplementation and prostate cancer. Rather than omega-3 as a culprit, Dr. Patrick spotlights an important confounder that may partly explain the results of this isolated study. Participants in the study took nearly 20x RDA mega-doses of alpha-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E that may have unique and potentially detrimental effects that could account for this association.

I love all your videos. Please, make a video about the benefits/risks of MCT oil. Thanks!
I supplement with 2 servings of EVNol SupraBio E complex. Each serving has 13mg of alpha tocopherol and 57mg (combined) of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta TOCOTRIENOLS. Do you think this is OK?
Great information is good to know.
Soo u guys saying
Prostate cancer is caused by omega-3 fatty acids? I m taking every day🥲
No. The study they to which they were referring noted a correlation between omega-3s and prostate cancer. They are discussing why the study was flawed (the video description explains this better than I can) and shouldn't be taken seriously. There was also another study done after that didn't show any correlation.
Me too I'm always taking fish oil everyday? so possible that i build prostate cancer?
@@allanferrer9840 Absoutely not the message you should be taking from this, you can listen the whole podcast and see why you taking EPA/DHA is absolutely essential. And yes the discussion on the video was about flawed conclusions, there is no other study that supports their conclusions and they made conclusions beyond their data - i.e. speculation not science. Their experiments were not even designed to answer this questions, all they saw was correlation with no molecular mechnanistic backing for causation. Video above discusses this. Causation being very unlikely due to other studies suggesting the exact opposite, improved health status and reduction of all cause mortality (not only cardiovascular) from having sufficient omega3 index.
@@mushshrap6471 These kind of 'studies' are always backed by Big Pharma to discredit natural health supplements.
@@mushshrap6471 Thanks for the explanation. It wasn't as clear listening to the video.
lol the data was refuted by other industry funded research.
Not a good argument. Some of the best done studies were actually funded by industry. What matters is the METHODOLOGY used. So long as proper methodology is used then industry funding itself can’t falsely the results because you know what to look for.
