Recent reports have stated that eating lots of fish might help in cutting down the risk of dying from prostate cancer despite it not protecting men from developing prostate cancer.

Dr. Konrad M. Szymanski of McGill University Health Center in Montreal, one of the study's authors, said, "In the United States, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer over their lifetime. One in six of these men will die of prostate cancer. Our study findings suggest that the number of men who die once diagnosed is lowered by more than 50 per cent among men eating lots of fish."

He added that it is a bit controversial to state that whether fish can actually help in cutting down the risk of prostate cancer death.

About 31 studies including hundreds of thousands of patients were analyzed by him and his colleagues.

It was found by Szymanski and his team that it could not be figured out that eating a lot of fish could actually protect you from prostate cancer.

But it was found that there were 44 per cent lesser chances of developing metastatic prostate cancer in men who ate fish.
