A recent groundbreaking study has shed light on the significant impact of specific dietary fats, especially those derived from animal sources, on the growth of cancer in obese individuals. The research emphasizes the crucial role that diet plays in both preventing and treating cancer. Unlike previously believed, the study found that the type of dietary fat consumed has a more considerable influence on cancer development in obese individuals than the overall fat mass in the body. Animal fats such as lard and beef tallow were identified as culprits in compromising anti-tumor immunity and accelerating tumor growth in obese mice.
