Fat and Pancreatic Cancer

By ACSH Staff — Jun 29, 2009
Researchers from the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD reported that a diet high in fat can increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. According to the article from dbtechno.com, this study finding is interesting because it contradicts previous studies that have found the exact opposite. I ve never heard of any study that would indicate the opposite, says ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross, so I don t entirely trust this report. To whatever extent it is true, it s a good reason not to overdo your fat intake.
