Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effect of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, showing inconsistent results in previous research.
- Analyzing data from 15 prospective cohorts involving over 861,000 participants, the research found an overall risk ratio of 1.03 for dietary ALA intake, indicating no significant link to CRC, while blood levels showed a protective effect.
- Specifically, higher levels of ALA in blood were associated with a 10% lower risk of CRC for each 0.1% increase, suggesting that improving ALA levels through diet could help in preventing cancer.
