The PUBMED abstract by the study's authors states: "We concluded DFO-fed (Dietary Fish Oil fed) mice may be less equipped to mount a successful response to Helicobacter hepaticus infection increasing colon cancer risk. These results support the need to establish a tolerable upper limit for DHA intake particularly in the context of chronic inflammatory conditions like IBD."

This means that the mice already had a disease that made them susceptible to colon cancer. Even if correct, the application of this finding from mice to people cannot be assured, especially those without a chronic inflammatory condition like IBD. As a practical remedy for any concern, I would take Vitamin D3 and mixed isomer E supplements along with fish oil.

Are omega-3 and DHA the same thing? Maybe that’s my confusion with the results.
