Could supplementing with fish oil actually be bad for you in the long run?

If the EPA/DHA from fish oil give clinically proven benefits by inhibiting NF-kappaB, and improper NF-kappaB regulation is linked with 'cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, septic shock, viral infection, and improper immune development', is supplementing with fish oil actually be bad for you in the long run?

Apologize in advance as I don't have a lot of knowledge in the field. Was hoping for some insight from you guys.

Thanks for clarifying. I turned to DrugNerds because it's more scientific and I find more pharmacology and chemistry knowledgeable users here than on Nootropics. :)
