Should I switch to a lowfat diet?
Although dietary fat was once considered a major factor in cancer risk, recent research has shifted focus to emphasize the cancer-protective effect of vegetables and fruits. For better general health, you should avoid excessive amounts of fat, especially saturated fat, which is found in fatty meat and high-fat cheese, milk and ice cream. But some fat is needed in your diet. Moderate amounts of olive and canola oils, nuts and fatty fish are good choices.
