Omega-3 Fatty Acids Slow Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation
Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as their metabolite products, stop or slow the proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer cells better than cells from luminal types of cancer, researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Center reported at the AACR Annual Meeting 2013. The scientists explained that omega-3 fatty acids work against all cancerous cell types, but were seen to be much more effective against the triple-negative cell lines. Proliferation in those types of cells was reduced by as much as 90%. Sardines, tuna, trout, salmon (oily fish), flax and hemp are examples of foods rich in omega-3s...

Tackling Inflammation With Aspirin And Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Experts tout the health benefits of low-dose aspirin and omega-3 fatty acids found in foods like flax seeds and salmon, but the detailed mechanisms involved in their effects are not fully known. Now researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Chemistry & Biology show that aspirin helps trigger the production of molecules called resolvins that are naturally made by the body from omega-3 fatty acids. These resolvins shut off, or "resolve," the inflammation that underlies destructive conditions such as inflammatory lung disease, heart disease, and arthritis...

I love adding a dose of nutrition to my “old favourites”, without changing great taste. Outside of adding a variety of dried fruit and nuts to cookies, muffins, granola bars and more, ground flaxseed has become a staple-baking ingredient in my house. I add anywhere from ¼ cup to ½ cup to a recipe depending on what I am making and the flavor I hope to achieve.
