The study investigated the relationship of food intake with colon cancer. The six year study included 47,949 U.S. male health professionals (aged 40 to 75) who were free of cancer at the start of the study.
With regard to saturated fat, the study found those who consumed the most had a 12% decreased risk of colon cancer compared to those who consumed the least.
