Eating foods high in animal fat can increase the risk of prostate cancer

Some previous studies have suggested that foods high in animal fat, such as meat and dairy products, may promote prostate cancer. The results of the experiment showed that the adverse effects of a high-calorie diet are the same for both normal-weight and overweight people.

Recently, a medical study found that people whose daily diet contains a lot of calories are more likely to develop prostate cancer, regardless of what kind of food they eat or their weight.

This medical study investigated the dietary structure of 444 middle-aged and older men. The results found that those with high calorie intake were nearly four times more likely to develop prostate cancer than those with low calorie intake.

Some past studies have suggested that foods high in animal fat, such as meat and dairy products, promote the development of prostate cancer. But other studies have found no link between a high-animal fat diet and prostate cancer. The results of this recently published study suggest that the total amount of calories, whether from fat, protein or carbohydrates, has an impact on the development of prostate cancer. If a person's daily calorie intake always remains around 2,600 calories, it can be considered a high-calorie diet with a higher risk of prostate cancer. Compared with those who keep their daily calorie intake below 1,100 calories, the former have a 3.8 times higher risk of prostate cancer.

The researchers also said that the experimental results show that the adverse effects of a high-calorie diet are the same for both normal-weight and overweight people.
