Consumption of animal fat, but not vegetable fat, is strongly correlated with prostate cancer mortality internationally.


evidence from many studies on obesity and low levels of physical activity increasing the risk of colon cancer suggests that at least part of the high rates in affluent countries previously attributed to fat intake is probably due to sedentary lifestyle.

Consumption of animal fat, but not vegetable fat, is strongly correlated with prostate cancer mortality internationally.

Rates of other cancers that are common in affluent countries, including those of the endometrium and ovary, are, of course, also correlated with fat intake internationally.
