We know that eating fish helps lower
cholesterol (the bad kind) and it is low in fat and calories so it can aid in weight loss
if it's not fried, breaded or grilled in butter or oil. Now there's a new study that shows
fish may help stave off certain types of cancers. A research study recently done in Milan,
Italy compared 10,000 hospital patients who had cancer to 8,000 other patients who did not
have cancer. Before the cancer tests or hospital admission, they were all asked how much
and how often |

they ate fish, on average. Those who ate one
or more servings a week showed a definite pattern of protection against cancers such as
stomach, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, colon and rectum. Fish may be an even healthier choice
than previously thought. Remember, tuna salad (easy on the mayo) counts too as well as
fish chowder and fish dips (made with low cal dressing and/or cream sauce. So it's not as
tough as you think to include fish a few times a week in your diet.
