That’s a shame! So on top of having an undeserved reputation as being killers, and being slaughtered in their hundreds of thousands so people can eat shark fin soup, or for their squalene, or for bogus cancer cures, they get cancer as well. Bugger!

But thanks for the heads up on the matter. I’ve changed the post to reflect the facts.

Thanks

Even if they didn’t, of course, that wouldn’t be good evidence on whether squalene is chemopreventive or chemotherapeutic in humans, which is still unknown; most of the animal models are poor. Here’s a not-terribly-useful page on shark liver oil and squalene from the American Cancer Society.
