Choose low-fat foods
Foods that have fats include meats, nuts, oils, and dairy products, such as milk and cheese.
In some studies, those who ate the highest amount of fat each day had an increased risk of prostate cancer. This doesn't prove that eating excess fat causes prostate cancer. Other studies haven't found this link.
But cutting the amount of fat you eat each day has other plusses. For instance, cutting fat can help you control your weight and improve heart health.
To cut fat, limit fatty foods or choose low-fat foods. For instance, add less fat to foods when cooking. Choose leaner cuts of meat. Eat low-fat or reduced-fat dairy products.
