... RCTs in humans have often shown no effect of "LCPUFA supplementation on cognitive or behav ioral performance and some reviewers have consid ered that, overall, the evidence was insufficient to conclude that LCPUFA supplementation benefited development." "There is moderate evidence that PUFAs, and long- B chain omega-3 PUFAs in particular, from either breast milk or supplemented infant formula, are beneficial in the development of visual acuity and cognitive performance in infants." "There is very limited empirical evidence, due to the small number of extant studies, for the beneficial ef fects of PUFAs, and omega-3 PUFAs in particular, on cognitive performance in older children." "Evidence suggest that omega-3 PUFAs may have a role in the control of the symptoms of neurological disorders such as ADHD and dyslexia." "Any comparisons between breastfed and supple- B mented groups should include measures of maternal IQ and quality of parenting on which these groups tend to differ." "Animal and human studies indicating a relation between LCPUFA supplementation and enhanced visual acuity and shorter visual fixations may, in fact, represent relatively independent effects of supple mentation on both acuity and cognitive processing speed." continued

However, "whether the consumption of fish containing marine fatty acids can alter the risk of these cancers or of other hormone-dependent cancers is unclear." "Although there is ample evidence from in vitro and animal studies that these essential fats can inhibit the progression of tumors in various organs, particularly the breast and prostate, the evidence from epidemiologic studies is less clear." "Although most of the studies did not show an association between fish consumption or marine fatty acid intake and the risk of hormone-related cancers, the results of the few studies from populations with a generally high intake of marine fatty acids are encouraging." continued

... "Increasing evidence from animal and in vitro N studies indicates that n-3 fatty acids, especially the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA, present in fatty fish and fish oils, inhibit carcinogenesis." "The epidemiologic data on the association between fish consumption, as a surrogate marker for n-3 fatty acid intake, and cancer risk are, however, somewhat less consistent." n-3 fatty acids may modify the carcinogenic process by suppressing AA-derived eicosanoid biosynthesis; influencing transcription factor activity, gene expression, and signal transduction pathways; modulating estrogen metabolism; increasing or decreasing the production of free radicals and reactive oxygen species; and influencing insulin sensitivity and membrane fluidity.
