If you don’t have high enough levels of omega-3s in your diet, it’s a leading risk factor for death globally, contributing to the development of chronic diseases like cancer. A healthy diet can significantly reduce your risk of developing cancer. This has led to great interest in the role of omega-3 fatty acids — especially in the prevention of breast cancer.
