ESPA surprising new study suggests that when it comes to pancreatic cancer, the kind of fat you eat may matter more than how much. Researchers found that oleic acid—the main fat in olive oil and several other common foods—sped up tumor growth in mice predisposed to pancreatic cancer, while omega-3-rich fats from fish oil dramatically slowed disease development.
New research reveals that some fats may fuel pancreatic cancer while others appear to help stop it in its tracks.
For years, the common assumption has been simple: eating less fat may help lower cancer risk. New research suggests the picture is much more complicated.
Scientists report that when it comes to pancreatic cancer, the specific type of fat in the diet may be more important than the total amount consumed.
The findings, published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, indicate that different fats can have dramatically different effects on cancer development. Know more: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260601025349.htm
