This will be a controlled, double-blind randomized study. Using a 2X2 factorial design, 160 participants will be randomized to eat at least three portions/week of omega-3-PUFA enriched (or control) chicken-meat, and to eat at least three omega-3-PUFA enriched (or control) eggs/week, for 6 months.
Numbers in each treatment group are indicated below; Control chicken-meat & Control Eggs (n=40) Control chicken-meat & Omega-3 PUFA enriched Eggs (n=40) Omega-3 PUFA enriched chicken-meat & Control Eggs (n=40) Omega-3 PUFA enriched chicken-meat & Omega-3 PUFA enriched Eggs (n=40)

Randomisation and masking The randomisation schedule was computer generated. Separate sealed opaque envelopes were prepared for male and female participants. All investigators involved in participant recruitment, data collection and entry, sample collection, processing and analysis, will be masked to the randomisation groups until data entry is completed and the database is locked.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue, serum, plasma, ''buffycoat'', erytrocytes and urine is stored in nitrogen vapour at the biobank of the Diet, Cancer and Health cohort study. Also, whole blood in filter paper and toenail clippings has been stored within the biobank.

Exposure to dietary intake of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) will be assessed using a detailed food frequency questionaire filled in by participants included in the Diet, Cancer and Health cohort at baseline. Exposure to adipose tissue content of ALA will be determined by gas chromatography in all incident cases and in subcohort of 3500 participants randomly drawn from the total cohort.
