The researchers gathered their data as part of the VITAL study. VITAL stands for VITamins And Lifestyle. The study is intended to clarify the positive and negative effects of supplements. A previous finding from the VITAL study is that glucosamine reduces the chance of lung and bowel cancer and mortality.
In the study that they published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, the researchers looked at “nonvitamin, nonmineral “specialty” supplements”: glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, fish oil, grapeseed-extract, black cohosh, dong quai, soya extracts, St John’s wort, probiotics, Q10, melatonin, ginkgo, ginseng and garlic. Of all these supplements, the researchers only managed to find a relationship for fish oil.
When they looked more closely, the researchers found that fish oil reduces the chance of cancer of the milk ducts but not the chance of cancer of the milk glands. The former type is the most common form of breast cancer.
