Abstract

A large and convincing body of empirical evidence shows that a high-fat diet coupled with a low intake of fiber and antioxidants is associated with a higher incidence of colon, prostate, and breast cancers. Here, McCarthy presents preliminary evidence that increased intake of the positional isomers of linoleic acid will slow tumor growth and the development of cachexia mice bearing the colon-26 adenocarcinoma.
