Prostate cancer is positively associated with intake of dietary fat, especially saturated fat. The most aggressive type of prostate cancer is associated with intake of animal fat. Therefore a man is at increased risk of prostate cancer if he eats large portions of red meat several times per week. Eating eggs for breakfast most mornings, drinking two or more alcoholic beverages daily, and drinking two or more glasses of milk daily are not associated with risk of prostate cancer.
