"It is healthy to take good fat from good quality food"The research result that was announced in 2013, on the other hand, the research result that the risk of cancer, especially colon cancer increases if" too much is not too much " Was announced.

Usually in the intestine there is a pocket of stem cells,LiningWe are doing. This cell sometimes mutates to tumor, but in the mouse thickened by a high fat diet, the cell group proliferated unexpectedly. Progenitor cells sometimes became tumorous like stem cells.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducts research on stem cells · metabolism · cancerÖmer H. YilmazDr. et al. Discovered that a protein called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ (PPAR-δ) is involved in this tumorigenesis. Experiments with Petri dishes also revealed that fatty acids of high fat diet increased the number of PPAR-δ.

In other words, it means that the fatty acid of a high fat diet triggers the number of PPAR - δ, which will lead to more tumorigenesis. In the experiment, it is recorded that the spontaneous incidence of tumor was also high. It has been said that there are many cases of breast cancer and colorectal cancer in people who take fat meals, but this study found that the risk of colon cancer increased.

However, as in the research in 2013, we know that good quality fat has good health benefits, so it seems to be said that the right amount is important in everything.
