That's your business: The work over the past decade on fish oil has been horribly disappointing in terms of proposed benefits. I also saw the article claiming a link to prostate cancer and was totally underwhelmed. I'd urge you to eat a sensible and balanced diet and spend several hours a week doing serious aerobic fitness & some resistance training as well. Health doesn't come out of a pill bottle. Best wishes.
