India Today  

Studies have shown that foods containing high levels of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for overall health.

The researchers said that consuming fish oil supplements could help with increasing these healthy fats in the body, but the decision to take them isn't one-size-fits-all. In the present study, for example, the researchers found that high omega-3 levels could be associated with a slightly higher risk of prostate cancer.
