According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a saturated fat is a type of fat that has some chemical properties and it is usually solid at room temperatures.

Consumption of too much saturated fat in early childhood has been linked with breast cancer by this study. Also, other cancers like colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer have been linked to consumption of saturated fats by several case-control studies.

Although the association of saturated fats and these cancers were found to be weak and difficult to prove in epidemiological terms, it is still found to have SOME association.

Some examples of foods high in saturated fats include; cheese, butter, salami, the skin on poultry products like chicken, lard, and so on.
Genetically Modified Foods

The problem with GMOs is that it is still a grey area that the consumers have a responsibility to tread carefully.

This is because the Government and the manufacturers of GMO-products have no way to test the adverse effects that these GMOs might have on the health of humans. It’s a matter of consuming them at your own risk.

A test that was carried out on rats by feeding them GMOs found that the rats showed damaged immune systems and cancerous cell growth after just ten days.
