Choosing a low-fat diet may help guard against the formation and spread of cancerous cells and tumors in the lungs.
This study validated the consumption of low-fat diet and its relationship with the development of lung cancer. Researchers tracked the dietary habits and rate of occurrence of lung cancer among 98,459 American men and women over an 8-year period.
Researchers discovered that strict adherence to a low-fat diet significantly cut down lung cancer risk. In contrast, high intake of foods rich in saturated fatty acids was found to increase an individual's likelihood of having lung cancer. This study arrived at the conclusion that sticking to a low-fat diet may help hinder the development of lung cancer in men and women.
