New Research Reveals Certain Fats Can Either Trigger or Suppress Cancer

A Yale-led mouse study found that fat type, not just total fat, can change pancreatic cancer growth.

Oleic acid and other monounsaturated fats sped up tumor growth, while omega-3-rich polyunsaturated fats slowed it.

Fish oil appeared to help trigger cancer-cell death, suggesting a possible link to ferroptosis.

The findings may help shape future dietary guidance and prevention strategies for a highly lethal cancer.
