Lack of oxygen is often implicated in cancer.
Cancer functions anaerobically -- without oxygen
Cancer cells like an acidic, low-oxygen environment and do not function well in a high-oxygen environment.
Oxygen utilization in our cells depends on essential fatty acids. Nobel-Prize-winning physicist, Dr. Otto Warburg, first found this oxygen connection.
Besides helping with oxygen (ushering it more readily into the cells), omega-three and omega-six also form healthy cell membranes
Altered and hydrogenated oils from the supermarket do the opposite (even clogging up cell walls and leading to something else you frequently hear about: inflammation). Modern companies alter oil so much to preserve shelf life that these crucial oils have been turned into unhealthful fats.
When a cell's membrane has been compromised, it can divide itself in a crazy way, causing tumors.
One of the best sources of both omega-three and omega-six fats is flaxseed oil (or what some call linseed).
Additions of unrefined, cold-pressed, refrigerated oil to the diet may affect not just cancer, but also arthritis, heart infarction, and other inflammatory ailments.
