I have been on Omega 3 and 6 for about 4 years now and eversince, i have had acne, caused by lack of prostaglandins. All of the articles said it has anti-prostaglandin effects. Whereas, in most Omega 3 articles, it is claimed to be a miracle formula for the eyes and brain. WHAT DO I DO?!

Having had a quick google myself I could only find one website (in about a hundred) that had anything negative to say about Omega 3 and even that wasn't too bad.
http://www.nutraingredients.com/news/ng.asp?id=65345-omega-cancer
Basically it says that Omega 3 is good for breast cancer and other cancers and in the studies it had no effect on skin cancer. Given that skin cancer is mainly due to staying out in the sun, I would say continue with the good stuff in the Omega 3 and wear sunscreen and you'll be A OK.

Omega 3 fignts cancers! Where did you see an article saying it causes cancer? I have never seen an article saying that it accelerates cancer.
