Although high-fat diets do not necessarily lead to cancer, all fats are particularly high in calories (9kcal\/g) and excessive consumption may lead to overweight or obesity. There is strong evidence that obesity is linked to increased risks for 13 types of cancer. Hence, for weight management and cancer prevention, it is still important to control the amount of fat intake (~20-30% of daily total energy intake).<\/p>\n

However, cancer patients who are underweight, undergoing treatments or experienced significant weight loss, may require a high-fat, high-calorie diet. This is when increasing the intake of \u201chealthy fats\u201d become important, as we would like to maintain and support weight gain, without clogging up our arteries!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
