Men who eat a lot of animal fat, especially the fat from red
meat, have more than 2.5 times the risk of developing
prostate cancer than men who eat little or none, a team of
Harvard University and Mayo Clinic researchers reported in
the October *Journal of the National Cancer Institute*. The
study investigated the eating habits of 47,855 men. Over
165,000 American men develop prostate cancer each year,
often losing their sexual function in consequence; 35,000
American men per year die of prostate cancer.
