Title
Low-fat diet and the risk of liver cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial
Summary
Diet plays an important role in public health [1]. Although inconsistent associations between total fat consumption and health outcomes have been reported [2]. Some dietary guidelines still recommend a low-fat diet to prevent chronic diseases, including cancer [3]. However, there are no epidemiological studies evaluating the potential association between low fat diet and liver cancer risk.
