Fatty diets may be associated with reduced semen quality - Science
Daily, 3/14/12 - "The study of 99 men in the USA
found an association between a high total fat intake and lower total sperm
count and concentration. It also found that men who ate more omega-3
polyunsaturated fats (the type of fat often found in fish and plant oils)
had better formed sperm than men who ate less ... if men make changes to
their diets so as to reduce the amount of saturated fat they eat and
increase their omega-3 intake, then this may not only improve their general
health, but could improve their reproductive health too ... the relationship
between dietary fats and semen quality was largely driven by the consumption
of saturated fats. Men consuming the most saturated fats had a 35% lower
total sperm count than men eating the least, and a 38% lower sperm
concentration"

Mediterranean Diet May Protect Brain - WebMD, 2/13/12 -
"white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV) ... WMHV
is an indicator of small blood vessel damage in the brain and is detected by
magnetic resonance screening (MRI) ... researchers compared the brain scans
and diets of 966 adults with an average age of 72 ... those who most closely
followed a Mediterranean diet had a lower measure of WMHV than those who did
not. Each increase in the Mediterranean diet score was associated with a
corresponding decrease in white matter hyperintensity volume score ... the
aspect of the Mediterranean diet that seemed to matter most was the ratio of
monounsaturated fat to saturated fat"

High
dietary fat, cholesterol linked to increased risk of breast cancer -
Science Daily, 1/6/11 - "This mouse model is
believed to closely parallel the pathogenesis of human breast cancer. PyMT
mice were placed on a diet that contained 21.2 percent fat and 0.2 percent
cholesterol, reflective of a typical Western diet. A control group of PyMT
mice was fed a normal chow that had only 4.5 percent fat and negligible
amounts of cholesterol ... tumors began to develop quickly in mice fed the
fat/cholesterol-enriched chow. In this group, the number of tumors was
almost doubled, and they were 50 percent larger than those observed in mice
that ate a normal diet. "The consumption of a Western diet resulted in
accelerated tumor onset and increased tumor incidences, multiplicity, and
burden, suggesting an important role for dietary cholesterol in tumor
formation," ... There was also a trend towards an increased number of lung
metastasis in mice fed the fatty diet"

High In Saturated Fat Contributes To Prostate Cancer Treatment Failure,
Study Suggests - Science Daily, 5/8/08 -
"Patients on a HSF diets were significantly more likely to have a PSA
failure and had significantly shorter PSA-failure free survival than men on
a LSF diet (26.6 vs. 44.7 months, respectively). At 5 years post radical
prostatectomy, 65% of patients who consumed HSF diets had no evidence of
prostate cancer compared to 80% of men who ate a LSF diet"

fats are worse than you think - MSNBC, 5/19/06 -

Dietary
intake of saturated fatty acids and mortality from cardiovascular disease in
Japanese: the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study for Evaluation of Cancer Risk
Study? - Am J Clin Nutr. 2010 Aug 4 - "The aim
of this study was to test the hypothesis that SFA intake is associated with
the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality in Japanese whose average SFA
intake is low ... We observed inverse associations of SFA intake with
mortality from total stroke [n = 976; multivariable hazard ratio (95% CI)
for highest compared with lowest quintiles: 0.69 (0.53, 0.89); P for trend =
0.004], intraparenchymal hemorrhage [n = 224; 0.48 (0.27, 0.85); P for trend
= 0.03], and ischemic stroke [n = 321; 0.58 (0.37, 0.90); P for trend =
0.01]. No multivariable-adjusted associations were observed between SFA and
mortality from subarachnoid hemorrhage [n = 153; 0.91 (0.46, 1.80); P for
trend = 0.47] and heart disease [n = 836; 0.89 (0.68, 1.15); P for trend =
0.59]. CONCLUSION: SFA intake was inversely associated with mortality from
total stroke, including intraparenchymal hemorrhage and ischemic stroke
subtypes, in this Japanese cohort"
