Pink Month: Fish Oil May Prevent Ductal Breast Cancer; Body Measurements and Female Attractiveness Ratings

Summary: October is "pink" month (breast cancer awareness) and I review a recent report (published in the July 2010 issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention) that suggests that fish oil may reduce ductal breast cancer (not lobular). So start eating fish! The second report is a study in which scientists in Hong Kong and Australia report how different body measurements correspond to female attractiveness. The study was published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology and found that young, tall and long armed women are considered to be the most attractive.
